[mythtv-users] Best way to copy to windows and delete after recording?

[Jason Bilbrey]

Yeah, I need to copy it off.  I have my 3 tuners recording 24x7 and I'm
archiving shows.  Copying the shows off I can do automated (and am from the
windows side) but I have to go through MythWeb and delete the shows after
that.  If I forget to delete them daily then MythTV starts flagging them as
not watched when it autopurges and then starts recording duplicates which I
don't want.

So I either need to change the default behavior of MythTV so that when it
autopurges it marks the show as never record again, or I need to figure out
a way to automatically delete shows off the MythTV with a script every 24
hours or so...
