[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1263048, member: 141969"] I think that there are two separate settings in play here: "[B]keep until[/B]" and "[B]maximum number of episodes to retain[/B]". Your post suggests that you are trying to use "keep until" in order to stop episodes being deleted, but I think that you should be using "max episodes". "Max episodes" applies only to a series, so you cannot access the setting for a single (one-off) recording. You can specify max episodes when you initially create a series recording schedule, or you can at a later time modify the settting for an existing series. Display the EPG, scroll to a future series episode that is scheduled to record, and press the OK button on the remote control. This will display the "Upcoming Episodes" panel. Now press the LEFT button on the remote to display the left side menu. On this menu some selections will be greyed out, but one selection that is active is "Episodes management". Select that, and the "Episodes management" pop-up is displayed, on which you can select how many episodes to keep: [ATTACH]202791[/ATTACH] On my system, the default is always "All episodes" (top of the list). When I looked in "MP Config" and "TV Server Config", I could not find any setting to control the default for "max episodes", so I think that the default is probably hard-coded as "All episodes". If your default is different, that is a puzzle o_O. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
