What's your % free space currently on your DVR?

Only 10%, and I even have it upgraded with external storage. I have like 30 episodes of House (going back to last season, obviously). I should probably just remove them, since I'm unlikely to catch back up. I'm also way behind on Terminator, Chuck and Heroes. Maybe over Christmas I'll get caught up some...

these are all estimates due to Tivo not liking a free space indicator.
Tivo S3(stock): 50% free
Tivo S3/DVR Expander: 40% free
Tivo S2 DT(500Gb upgrade): 30% free - this is my movie box. has around 40 movies on it plus random tv shows
Tivo S2 DT(400Gb upgrade): 75% free - backup box for when my primary gets full
Comcast Motorola DVR: 50% free
I am about to upgrade my stock S3 to 1Tb so I can have even more space. I have learned from the past so I now let shows stack up for at least the first 7-8 before I even bother these days. If they get canned before that I just delete and move on. Having lots of space allows this much easier.

When i got up this morning it was 100% full. I deleted a few things so i think i have 6% free space now. My wife watches 5 or 6 shows a week and there is about 3 episodes of each show on there at the moment. Plus we have the entire 4th season of Supernatural on it since we haven't finished S3 yet.

1% free. I'm backlogged on a couple episodes of 30 Rock and The Office, plus I'm keeping all episodes of the new Clone Wars series. The rest of the space is taken up by movies I haven't gotten around to watching yet or that I'm keeping around due to them not airing again (based on the channel subscription I have). Everything is recorded in HD. I usually use and then subsequently erase 15% of my DVR's capacity each week on Heroes, 30 Rock, and Doctor Who.

About 30%
I've got a few things saved, but the majority of the space is taken by Mad Men s2, this season of Smallville, and about 6 episodes each of Heroes and Terminator. Gonna start trying to clear those out real soon.

Less then 5%. I had recorded Short Cuts, but my brother deleted it. I may have to buy an external hard drive so I can store more, now with USA & Sci-Fi in HD in my area...finally.

I'm at 94% capacity I believe. I think it's a 40GB DVR.
I've only watched the season premieres of Pushing Daisies and Grey's Anatomy and have the rest of the episodes to date sitting there. I'm also way behind on Sarah Connor Chronicles and One Tree Hill.
I already gave up on Heroes 3 episodes into the season and deleted it from my program list.

Around 75-80%. Have a few movies I recorded off HBO-HD that I still have to watch. Once I do that, it should go back to 90% or so. It would be a lot lower but my last HD-DVR from DirecTV was a piece of crap and they sent me a replacement. I had a lot of stuff on the old DVR. I regularly got under 10% on that one.
My Replay-TV is pretty full - there is about 3-4 hours available (on medium quality setting). I have a lot of old stuff on there that I want to keep.

I've got about 58% free. I need to watch/delete a few things.
If my girlfriend didn't have an endless stream of "Real Housewives of _____" on there, it would be more open.

I have a 500 GB hard drive attached and I'm about 80% full, -among other things, I have full seasons of "Dexter", "True Blood", and "Brotherhood" I haven't quite gotten to yet, as well as a few movies. I imagine over the next month, -as practically everything I watch goes on hiatus or ends their current season (I mean, what will actually be on?), -I'll get it down to a much lower number.

Hovering around 15-20% free space. I'm way behind on a few shows like Terminator and Pushing Daisies. Plus I have a handful of movies on there from when HBO had their last free preview weekend, and the entire second series of Spaced from BBC America. I'm hoping to get it down to the 75% free range over the holiday period since there will be fewer new content coming out.

I have 2 Directv DVR's with Tivo. One is a little old at 32 hours capacity. I would say maybe less than 10% on that one.
The other is about 70 hours and I have maybe less than 5% free. I have Mad Men from the summer still unwatched, lots of Dexter and Californication and majorly backed up Ghost Whisperer, Priviledged and Ugly Betty.
