The ones that are not manually deleted by me are not listed there.
this is one of many undocumented features of Contour's design to make things as difficult, if not impossible, for the end-user.
To make up for the disappearance, they:
* don't list the nuked title(s) in Recently Deleted
* provide zero hints as to the order titles will be deleted, but not listed, by cox
* seem to bypass titles for deletion that will be available again for recording# for shows that will not be available to record.
* too often seems to nuke most recent [LIFO] rather than oldest
# one design improvement could be for cox to automatically set up for new recording before nuking
I have a much longer list of failings in "disk space management" and lack of user-friendliness [ex: maximizing number of clicks required for the most common tasks and easy access to things that were set on day 1 and never touched years later]

Agreed. Ever since they switched to the new Contour boxes several years ago the experience has been horrible. I think Contour is a poorly designed device, lots of flaws. The best that Cox can do is to ship you a new box which is completely useless. As a company they don't care since they are the only cable provide in South OC.
