Hi,


1) is dere any other way to change the channels instead of using the arrows, is dere a channel list from which we can select the channel directly.

2) intelligent recording is diabled, delete live tv recordings is enabled
i read in the forum somewhere tht sagetv delete livetv files when there is no space in the disk. I have a one TB hdd.. i dont want to wait that long to delete these files, is there any alternative

3) or can the live tv, scheduled, manual recordings have diff destination folders

1. Go to the guide. Select the channel.

2. You misunderstand what that setting means. It doesn't mean that it will fill up your drive with live tv until there is no space. It simply means that when you stop watching the show it deletes the file.

3. No, why would you want them to?

even if i stop watching live tv, the files aren't deleted. i have to manually delete them.

what should i do to make sagetv automatically delete these files

[starfire]

I recommend you read Appendix C of the manual it covers these things

Sage will delete them. Not immediately when you stop watching. It could take a little bit. I'm not sure if it does it when it refreshes but if it does the default refresh time is 2 hours.
