[QUOTE="RobNorthcott, post: 1265524, member: 57999"] Well, I've found out what it was :) People's advice to run the tvservice as the normal user was correct, but it turns out that Windows won't run a service as a user with no password. It doesn't complain when you set the user in the service properties, but fails with a login error when it tries to start the service. Adding a password to the user account fixes this, and everything to do with the TV Server still works - AND I can now delete those recordings from the NAS through the normal interface. Woohoo. I purposely has no password on the user so the machine would boot straight back up in the event of a power failure without sitting on the login screen, but setting Windows to auto-login using netplwiz (another thing I didn't know about before) has got round this. So, thanks again for all the help - and the moral of the story is if you're changing the user on a service, make sure it has a password! [/QUOTE]
