As I recall, the "Do not auto-expire" feature applies to the MythTV 
feature of deleting old recordings when disk space is low.  There is no 
"never delete" option that can be set that I remember.  I miss this 
option as it does exist on my ReplayTV and if I get a chance I may be 
able to look into adding it assuming that I am correct that it doesn't 
exist.
