Yes, that's exactly how the "Auto Expire Instead of Delete Recording"
option--which has existed since 0.21--works. Quite handy on
occasion.

My original message is regarding the fact that, as of 0.23, MythTV
continues to record a recording in progress after one deletes it and
it is auto-moved into the Deleted group.
