Oh, and I should probably also mention the option to move any recordings 
you don't plan to watch and delete soon into Video Library, where you 
can manage and organize recordings as desired (even grouping into 
directories and subdirectories).  With Video Library's great metadata 
support and the fact that it was designed for managing a large, er, 
library of video, the only downside to moving recordings there is the 
time it takes to do so.

See http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/519758#519758 for 
more.
