Instead of a single number of bar graph, I'd rather have the Now
Playing list give informative indications as to which recordings
are at risk.
Taking into account what is in the To Do list, and assuming that
nothing is manually deleted, calculate how many days each recording
will remain before being deleted to free up disk space.
I would rather have a number (from 0 to 9) instead of an exclamation
point for shows marked with a yellow circle.
(0) = show has less than 24 hours to live
(1) = show is safe for 1 day (24 to 47.9 hours to live)
(2) through (9) = similar
no mark = 10 or more days at current rate of consumption.
Then I could look at the Now Showing list and say, "If I don't free
up any space, then that show right there will be gone the day after
tomorrow."
