Thanks. I believe you intended to respond to the OP.<br>
<br>
My issue is that I **want** it to re-record episodes that it has<br>
already recorded and that were expired from the system. I don't<br>
believe I've found a setting that says "treat expired recordings as<br>
'delete and re-record'" The system seems to always treat them as<br>
"delete (and do not re-record)".<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>I don't have the answer, other than to say that is NOT how my MythTV behaves...<br>I have a storage rule for my kids' shows that says keep up to 3 episodes. It is set to delete oldest. I find if it is deleted by this rule, it WILL re-record if the episode re-airs. I did not have to pick a specific setting for this to occur, it just did, so I am not sure what is different between what I am doing and what you are doing.<br>
