Hello everybody,

I'm still on V0.96.8 and I filled up my 250GB recordings drive so I installed another one.

I just changed the recordings/live buffer directories to the new drive letter and added the old drive directory to the Video Library Directories section.

I fired up GBPVR with my fingers crossed and to my delight everything seems to be working great. I was kind of surprised to see all the old recordings showing up in the same place - main recordings button. I was expecting to see this area empty and have to go to My Videos to get to my old recordings. Is this something that will expire with time or is this how it's supposed to work?

I originally thought I was going to have to install the archive utility, which was going to be a problem since GBPVR has moved on with net 2.0 and all, but so far so good.

Is it really this easy?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts on the matter. Cheers

Yes, thats all correct.

The recordings would only have disappeared from the Recordings screen if you moved them - at which time GB-PVR would have assumed you've deleted them. Since you've left them in their original locations, they're fine.

Cool beans. Thanks for the affirmation.

Would things go pear-shaped if the drive letter designations change?
