I don't know why I didn't look before but I just looked in Manage Recording Rules and it is full of 'Record All Breakfast News...' rules. I don't know how many but was holding 'page down' for a good couple of minutes and still did not get past them. Too many to delete manually I suspect. Would this be a likely cause! How can I get rid of them without setting aside a couple of day deleting them one at a time?<br>

Since I'm pretty sure that you didn't create 23.5k recording rules for that show, it sounds like you may have an open/unsecured MythWeb installation where a bot or miscreant or something got in there and created the rules for you. If so, you need to fix that before something else does something really bad to your system.<br>
