Hi,
I'd like for my Myth BE to spin down its HD's when possible, ie. late
night plus early morning. After poking at it abit, it appears the
"housekeeping thread" and "auto expire" are preventing that. I see this
every 15 minutes in the log:

AutoExpire: CalcParams(): Max required Free Space: 0.0 GB w/freq: 15 min

Running housekeeping thread
------------------ snip --------------------------------
So every 15 minutes it tries to autoexpire something (a program
recording I presume) and every 5 minutes it runs a house keeping thread.
Anyone got any suggestions on how to stop, run less often, or run only
during specific times for these two items? From some googling, I
unchecked the "Perform EIT scan" use for each video source. And I tried
adjusting the EIT settings to zero on the BE set-up page "Eit Scanner
Options" (which it refused to accept). Neither had any effect on the
problem.
Thanks for any help.
