Best Way to Recover Deleted Recorded TV Shows?

I don’t know about you, but I hate it when I deleted a recorded TV show only to find out that I really wanted to keep it or that someone else in the house hasn’t watched it yet. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a way to recover deleted recorded TV shows? Hopefully this will be a feature in Vista; I remember reading about how Vista in general will have a way to recover everything deleted somehow.

But until that happens, what’s the best program to use to try to recover deleted recorded TV shows?

Well, MCE as far as the file system goes is just Win XP. If you have the standard configureation, your DVR-MS file goes to the trash, same for Videos, etc. If you've emptied the trash and watched a show - you have a reasonable chance that you have over-written the file - bye bye. If you haven't watched anything, any file recovery program will give you a chance to get it back.
If you haven't emptied the trash, just drag to file back to the appropriate folder and its back.

From my experience deleted DVR-MS recorded files do not go into the trash but straight into the ether. I have never seen any deleted movies/shows show up in the trash. Granted I have tinkered with my Personal Confuser and created a Franken-beast, but everything I delete goes to the trash but things recorded in Media Center. I cant find any options that allow you to recover deleted MC recordings. If anyone has any way to recover deleted files that haven’t been over written please post.
