So would this explain why I have one scheduled recording that I have set to
limit to 15 shows and not to delete the old recordings, but yet Myth still
deletes the old recording to record a newer show?  I have tried changing and
rechanging the settings, even deleting the schedule completely and
recreating it.  But Myth still deletes the old shows and records the new
ones.

Just wondering.
