How to stop Tivo box deleting programmes after so many days?

I have had a Tivo box a month or so now and love it except it removes programmes I have recorded after so many days, I'm not sure how many. Can this be changed so it doesn't remove/delete them until I do it or extend the days until it removes them. Thanks
Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)

    Is there no clue in the user manual that came with it?

    I suspect there will be an option in the menus somewhere, as the TVIO seems to have huge numbers of user options from what I've heard.

    Are you sure it's deleting them and not grouping them?

    I cannot find anything either in the user manual or by googling.

    It puts them in the deleted and then deletes them.

    Go into the program concerned and there should be an option to 'Keep until...'. Go into that and you can set it to '...I delete'. You have to do it for each individual program unfortunately. You can also set this at the point you record something or set up a series link.

    As above, highlight the recorded program, it should give an option of keep until I delete, this will lock the programme and stop it from being deleted.
