Incidentally, UHD does not take 5 times the disc space of HD anyway, at least on the V6 box. I have had up to 4 separate series of UHD dramas on my box as well as a few nature programmes, and I have not noticed those shows eating up my disc space.
I have recorded numerous Premier League matches on BT. When I do I record in UHD on one box and HD on my other box.

The norm is 5 times the disk space, it is possible to display the disk usage in Gb. As we are talking sports streaming this is more relevant than dramas.

And yes I know streaming doesn't use recordings on your disk, however surely it is probable the band with? On the stream will be similarly higher.

HD channels can average anything between 5 and 9 according to the same website. The margin of error on the percentage space is too high on a 1TB box to be used meaningfully.
See my explanation in reply to OB. I am not using the %age disk space for comparison I use the actual Gb used to compare.
