"Auto-expire recordings" controls whether or not the recording can be
removed when disk space is running low.

"Record new and expire old" applies to recording that have an episode
limit.  If this option is used, the oldest recording will be deleted
regardless of disk space usage so that a new one can be recorded in
its place.  If this option is not used, no new recordings will be made
until either on older one is deleted or the episode limit is raised.
