Hi everyone,
I have a problem with WMC using up the limited space on my SSD.
Does anyone know if the default \users\public\Recorded TV\ folder can be redirected to a HDrive on my system other than the SSD?
If not I will be forced to stop using WMC for recording TV programs, and I love using WMC for this purpose because it does it so well :cry:

Tips


  • If you're not sure how much free space a particular drive has, select the drive, and then check the chart under Total recording time before saving.
  • To limit the amount of hard disk space that Media Center can use for recorded shows, change the Maximum TV limit setting to a lower number.
