disk space management
constant problems managing disk space on Contour 2 dvr
1) is there a way to expand capacity [ex: external disk drive or what i believe is disallowed option to download from dvr to personal computer]
2) is there a way to tell in which order recordings will be automatically removed to make way for new recordings
3) is there a way to tell the amount of space taken up by each recording [to help prioritize order or watch/remove ]
4) record options are binary: a) until space needed b) for 1 year
4a) 1 year from when?
4b) is there a way to sort saved recordings based upon date recorded and/or the "1 year" that is chosen
4c) is there a way to reset the "1 year" clock
From all appearances, the end user really has no control or ability to see what might/will happen when disk space runs short, so a follow-up
5) is there a way to identify which shows have been automatically deleted without being watched?
6) when the software decides which recording to remove, does the algorithm take into account which show will/will not repeat
6a) if it does priortize by first nuking shows that will re-run, does it automatically reschedule recording of that to-be-nuked show
