Default Space Requirement
The approximate amount of space necessary per hour of recording at the current default quality setting.

Next Recording Start
The time of tje next scheduled recording.

Duration of Scheduled Recordings
The average length of completed recordings.

Recording Time Per Day
The average amount of TV recorded per day total.

Actual Archive Depth
The age of the oldest non-"locked" (i.e. set to "Keep until space is needed") recording in the default recording folder. See Watching Recordings for more information on "locking" recordings. Note that the oldest non-locked recordings does not need to be part of a regular recording job. For example, a recording folder containing only a single recording made one month ago, will have an Actual Archive Depth of one month.

Predicted Archive Depth
The predicted age of non-locked recordings immediately before they expire, at the current level of daily usage. For example, if current Default Space Requirement is 2 GB/Hour, and Recording Time Per Day is 20 hours, and the default recording folder has 400 GB of space including existing non-locked recordings, the Predicted Archive Depth will be 10 days.

Drive Space / (Default Space Requirement x Recording Time Per Day) = Predicted Archive Depth
400 GB / (2 GB/Hr x 20 Hr/Day) = 10 Days

Note: Predicted Archive Depth and Actual Archive Depth will not necessarily be similar. ShowSqueezing or manually deleting recordings can increase the amount of time necessary before non-locked shows expire (Actual Archive Depth) beyond Predicted Archive Depth.
