[QUOTE="Marcusb, post: 73906, member: 11550"] On the topic of expiring old programs when space is needed, there are a lot more options than have been mentioned. By default programs are auto deleted to make space. You can choose the limits for what MP considers low disk space. When you set a program to be recorded, there are advanced options for "Keep Until". One of these is "Space Needed" which is also default. You can change this to "Never Delete" or even how many episodes, for things that are very often repeated. Even only six months ago, I would have said that Myth was a better option, since you already have it set up, but recently MP has made great bounds in stability and features and I think it's worth a jump to the dark side of Windows. Maybe just explain to your wife that you are going to do this. As with any install of a new OS and pretty comprehensive system, there are bound to be teething issues for the first week or so. Best to warn the Financial Controller beforehand. [/QUOTE]
