SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VISUALIZING STORAGE AVAILABILITY OF A DVR
First Claim
1. A method for visualizing storage availability of a recording device, the method comprising:
- analyzing storage usage activity on the recording device;
determining, based on the analyzed storage usage activity, storage availability of the recording device over time;
visualizing, using a graphic, change in the storage availability over time;
receiving user selection of the graphic, wherein the selection corresponds to a storage availability of the recording device at a particular time in the future; and
responsive to receiving the user selection of the graphic, presenting to the user at least one media asset associated with the storage availability at the particular future time.

Abstract
Systems and methods for visualizing storage availability are provided. Storage usage activity on a recording device is analyzed and used to determine storage availability over time. Change in storage availability is visualized using a graphic. A user may select a portion of the graphic corresponding to storage availability of the recording device at a particular time in the future. Upon selection of the graphic, the user may be presented with media assets which are associated with the storage availability of the recording device at the particular future time. These media assets may be assets that are stored, scheduled to be recorded, and/or scheduled to be deleted at the particular future time.
