Shit, I still have a physical DVR and even things I set to never delete will get auto deleted on a whim.

whats the point of a dvr then?

To watch something around the time it comes out and delete it. These things were NEVER advertised as long term media storage.

They were first advertised with hard drives that didn’t auto delete anything

Given they were required to add an interface to back up your recordings back in the 90s (I think it was the 90s), I’d kind of agree. The DVR itself makes a crappy long term storage, but the spirit is akin to a VCR, totally intended for saving video recordings.
