Recurring recording 'keep x recordings' question

dinki · 2014-02-03, 04:09 PM

I am wanting to set up a recurring recording to record the local news. The news plays at 5pm, 6pm, and 10pm. I'd like to keep three recordings with the oldest recording being deleted to make room for the latest. Will setting the 'keep x recordings' setting to three accomplish this, or will NPVR record three programs and then not record any more until one is deleted manually?

Please forgive me if this is an obvious question. I've checked the wiki and did a search and did not find the answer.

Yes it'll do exactly that.
