Are any of those episodes set to not expire?  Are any the result of a
different recording rule?  Are any of them in a different storage group,
like LiveTV?

I don't know the logic used, but I know if I wrote it I wouldn't include
non-expiring recordings against my total, and would exclude livetv so that
someone who is scanning channels and lands on sesame street doesn't prevent
it from recording the full episode at a later time.
