not a good algorythmn - with only 80 hours (SD) & 25 ish in HD - a mere fluxuation of even half-hour of HD would render it useless as any sort of guide

you would need something like 800 hour recording space to make this calculation anything like 'representative'

recording time is obviously based on SD recording and derived loosely from free drive space
