Temporary files
As you perhaps know, I do a lot of testing using SageTV (and as I'm a beginner I'm sure I'm making lots of newbie mistakes, but that's beside the point).
However, I see that the recording directory has some temporary files in it. I'm sure the question is very basic, but still: When are these temporary files deleted? Thank you!

By temporary files, are you refering to the ones that are named for each encoder you have? If that is the case, they are not deleted, they remain. They are a sort of buffer i believe (called .mpgbuff or something like that?). They do not ever grow through, and you should just ahve one for each encoder.

The .mpgbuf files are not kept forever & are not needed after SageTV is done with them for source or channel setup.
See Appendix C of the PDF manual in your install directory for information on automatic cleanup of various recordings. - Andy

(I'm using PlaceShifter, if it matters)
Now, this is strange: While streaming, I can't seem to find any *.mpgbuf* files (even whilte streaming), but I see an .mpg file growing in size (the .mpg file is named after the program). I'd rather just have a buffer file other than a .mpgbuf growing in size...

EVerything in Sage is a reciording including "Live TV" That's why you see a .mpg file growing. That is your current channel being written to the hard drive.

The .mpgbuf files are only created/used for the source setup or channel setup preview windows. All other recordings go to the show's inidividual recording file.

Is it possible to stream it directly? (It doesn't really matter, I just installed another hard drive for backups )

No.. Sage doesn't work that way. If it was streamed directly, you wouldn't be able to back up to rewatch something. For simplicity/consistancy, there is no fundamental difference between watching tv 'live' or recorded. I feel this is one of the strong features of sage. You don't have to worry about LiveTV taking up space, as it will be deleted before any other actual recordings.
