skip the olympics
Tue Jul 24 00:02:46 EDT 2012
I disabled some DVR recording searches for my vacation:
alcoholism, breweries, Carole King - James Taylor Live at the Troubadour, cycling (this one's getting hits from the Olympics, and they tend to be long), Ideas in Action With Jim Glassman, poodles, Princeton, Tucson.
The Old Guys and Outnumbered (two britcoms) will record as deleteable.
Here's the upcoming Olympics cycling coverage:

All kinds of times of day. (Not quite - never after 18:00. Not a prime-time sport, apparently.) Not only would these consume a lot of disk space, they would keep a tuner busy for a long time, limiting what else could be recorded. And in a 12-hour recording of 8 sports, how much of that would be cycling? (I can't imagine viewers would be unhappy to have the listings show 8 shorter programs of individual sports, so they could figure out when to see (or record) what they want.) Un-triggering these recordings is the simple solution to avoid filling the DVR's disk.
