auto delete watched programs????
No.
What you can do is select the watched programme and after a while someone will come along to delete a programme, but instead of that one getting deleted the selected programmes will disappear!

How's it going to know that you have watched it? You might have gone out of the room.
Imagine the situation where you’re watching a program that the wife is looking forward to watching when she gets home from shopping, and it auto deletes, you might as well pack your bags before she gets home.
I agree that immediate auto-delete of watched programmes is a bad idea. It's so easy to delete things once you've watched them...
But, it would be nice to be able to tell the box to delete things if the disk fills up. Some PVRs already do this. With the Humax, you can easily miss a week's worth of recordings if the disk fills up while you are on holiday.
Ideally, there should be some user preferences to choose between deleting the oldest or the largest files first, and whether to delete already-watched programmes in preference to stuff you haven't seen yet. Something for the wish list?

Or you could always press about 6 buttons on the remote occasionally and check how much free space you've got on the hard drive and then press a few more buttons on the remote and delete a few recordings if necessary! (and I thought I was lazy!!

It is not difficult to estimate how much disk space you will need for the recordings made while you are away:
(1) Add up the durations of the recordings to be made on all of the BBC channels. Multiply the number of hours by two.
(2) Add up the durations of the recordings to be made on all other channels. Multiply the number of hours by one.
(3) Add the answer from (1) with the answer from (2). That is roughly the number of free gigabytes the recordings will require.
(4) Add some "breathing space" to the answer from (3), e.g. 5GB.
(5) Delete recordings you do not want until the free space equals or exceeds the answer from (4).

I know how to check how much disk space is left, and I know how to do the mental arithmetic to see how much I can fit on the disk. (Actually, I reckon it's about 2.2GB/hour for BBC.) I'm just saying it would be great if I didn't have to go through the hassle. Checking the disk space is not always the first thing on my mind when I'm packing to go on holiday: tickets, passport, money, disk space, .
I'm sure no-one at Humax is working on extra little goodies to add to the 9200T. But, if they were, then auto-delete when the disk fills up would be a nice add-on. And, as I said, some competing PVRs already do this.
