[QUOTE="ASiDiE, post: 73701, member: 11017"] I am hoping in the future, MP will be able to give you average values bases off of the Time of the show and the size of the file it creates. It should also check to see if you are recording with a Analog card or a HD card. With these values we should be able to come up with a rough estimate of how much recording time for analog or HD content we have left on the drive. Maybe even something like this: Each card would have 3 settings for recording your shows. (low, Med, High). MP would record 5 minutes on each setting (Low, Med, High) and then do some calculations to figure out required space for each setting. So the medium setting you would get a file size of around 200MB X 5 = 1.2 GB. So your average 30 Minute Show on medium quality would be 1.2 GB. You could figure out both cards (analog, Digital) all within under of 30 minutes of recording that would be done at night. You could then go back to recorded shows and get avarages on these values to further make it a little more accurate. I wish I could code... cause I would add a feature like this. [/QUOTE]
