You're right, it goes by reported disk usage on the backend.  Probably
more accurate to report as: "4 programs, 25 GB in use".  Semantics
really.  If it really bugs you, go into
mythweb/languages/English.php and search for and change the lines

define ('_LANG_PROGRAMS_USING',  'programs, using ');
define ('_LANG_OUT_OF',          ' out of ');

to something that suites you better.
