[mythtv-users] RE:better way to record / feature req

[Tom Howard]

It would basically tell the DB to delete the oldest currently saved
recording in order to make room for a new one.  Anyone who has used the Time
Warner DVR can see this functionality in action.  The TWDVR has some really
good ideas but some really major bugs too.  That's why we have myth :-)
