[mythtv] More UI thoughts

[rob]

So, I'm sitting here thinking about UI stuff.  Two thoughts just popped 
into my head.

1.  The user really doesn't care how many megabytes are free.  They 
really just care how much time is available to record. (Well, at least 
the users who don't do division for fun.)  Could the application compute 
average encoding rate based on recorded shows that have the same 
encoding as the currently selected encoding, then display the minutes 
available based on free space divided by average encoding rate?  I think 
that would be useful.

2.  On the main menu, it might be nice to have a status display that 
says if the machine is currently recording, and if so, what.  That way, 
the user will know before they choose "Watch TV" if they are going to 
need to cancel recording or whatever.
