And I was beginning to like hours.

 

[dfergie]

Yup, like the brief time a year or so ago when USB EHDD archiving was enabled ...

 

[skenney]

I like hours much better than percentage ... I don't think I'll download this one. I hope they revert this back to hours next time.

I do not understand why anyone would want hours - how it can know what you're going to record? HD, SD, and OTA recordings of the same program are all different sized files. It can know how much (%) of the space is left - but it can't know what you're going to fill it with.

Since there were no notes last week, did they add back the HDMI CEC?

 

[skenney]

I guess to each their own then .. maybe it should be an option. Hours at least gives me an idea (and I don't have OTA, and cant remember the last thing I recorded in SD)... percentage doesn't help me much at all..

This is what I was saying earlier when the Hours thing was first implemented in the software.

I wouldn't mind this at all:

"XX% (XX hours HD) remaining."
