Normally there is only one or two tuners going at once. Often it's the
two HD tuners.

My SO works from home. A lot of the recordings is stuff she
watches/plays in the background while she's working. She's also OCD
about deleting shows that have been watched. I do use episode limits.
I'm also using a 400GB file system for recording storage.
