[snip] Just thinking out loud... Perhaps this is a feature request. If Myth knows what your average recording size/hour is, would it be able to present something like: 1. xx hours recording left. 2. Current space will allow recordings to continue until day x. Might be useful for some to see how long their space will last, and have that presented against their current 'scheduled recordings' list ? Greg.
