Ok so I have a question about "Record New and Expire Old" setting.

I have the local news channel being recorded each day.  I have no reason to keep a recording more than 24 hrs.  So I have the check box clicked for Record New and Expire Old assuming that is what it would do.  I looked this morning to see 3 days' worth of the news channel recorded.

How do I get daily news to keep only 1 recording?  This would be the same for 60 minutes.  There is no reason to it longer than a week when the next one is aired.

I would rather have this set at the backend as I use Kodi/XBMC for my front end and I don't recall seeing a way to delete from that.  Which for me I am happy with.  Just would like the backend would auto delete.

You need to also set the setting for how many recordings you wish to keep, which sounds like 1 in your case.

Cheers,

John
