(just a data point): The only time I ever visit the delete recordings
screen is when I want to see the size of each show.

I agree.  On a Tivo, things expire.  If you're going out of town for a
few days, you train yourself to go to the upcoming recordings screen and
clean things up.  If something you wanted to record autoexpires while
you're gone, you learn from the experience, and adjust your recording
settings.  Same for Myth.  I don't think this is a technological problem
- it's more of a user behavior training issue.  PEBKAC?
