About 50% of a stock TiVo drive.

Have a couple movies on there I need to get to, and this season of The Flash(watching but keeping) and AHS. Also have a season and a half of Star Wars Rebels I need to get to. Other than those I stay pretty caught up.

How much DVR space are you using?
 
i have such OCD when it comes to my DVR. the less % the better. too much puts me on edge. i keep recording things that i know i'll never watch. like impulse recordings. i mostly just watch current stuff that makes me feel good. so i delete the extraneous and feel mostly ok with it. some things will never leave the DVR, like The Godfather Epic (the chrono of I & II) that was aired on HBO last January, unless a bluray comes out. oh, and an HD version of Mischief with Kelly Preston. looking forward to revisiting again...


so i like to leave about 50%, that makes me feel ok. i usually keep it at close to 70-80% full. that stirs me a bit. just don't have time to watch what i should be and have always liked. just liked to watch 1 movie with my 2 hour window i give myself at night...


so how much space is used by your shows and movies and stuff? and does it kill you or are you ok with it?

99% I'm very conscientious about keeping my recordings managable.

I have 7% free. I have hundreds of movies recorded that I just dont want to delete at this moment in time. I keep watching the few I haven't seen before and I delete the odd one or two. Very few TV shows do I keep and delete almost all those.

I just deleted some stuff that had been there for ages. I figure if I haven't seen it yet I probably won't.

Currently around 12% free

The oldest thing I have is Motive's fourth and final season, which aired on USA last summer.

I have 5 episodes left, which I intend to finish. It's the final season and there is no streaming option to watch it.

Also, I have 5 episodes left of Ice, which aired on the Audience Network in the Winter.

CW shows kill me on my DVR. They eat up 1-2% per episode. So imagine when all the DC shows, Supernatural, Riverdale, Jane the Virgin etc. are new in 1 week. That could eat up potentially 6-10% of my DVR.

I have around 70% free. I'm not exactly sure, but I think the total capacity is around 100 hours, so there's about 30 hours of content recorded.

Since I've had this box, I don't believe it's ever been more than half full.

I'm currently hovering around 70% free. That's with a 500GB external added to the stock 35hr TiVo drive.

I'm not recording all that much lately and what I do we tend to watch not long after.

Yeah, what is that? Why do we record these things that we will never watch? It's like a phenomena...
