One way to tell if a recording is set to autoexpire (or not) is to check for the<br>
presence of the little trashcan icon displayed in the recorded programs section.<br>
<br>
Of course, there is the possibility that no icons at all show up when recorded<br>
programs are hi-lited, but that's a different problem. <br>
<br>
Remember too, that the icons are explained in a pop-up when you hit either<br>
F1 (say on a keyboard) or 1 (on a remote). Quite a nice feature.<br>
