"Keep at least" in "To Do" should match reality

The default for "Keep at Least" for TiVo is 2 days, meaning that a recording doesn't expire (yellow ball with exclaimation point) until 2 days after the recording.

If you look at the recording option in an item in the "To Do" list, though, the "Keep at Least" shows as "Until Space Needed".

Since you can change this to 1 through 7 days (or "Until I Delete"), new users might not realize that "Until Space Needed" and "2 days" are really the same thing.

So, I think TiVo should have this item show as "2 days", since that is the default. They should probably get rid of the "Until Space Needed" item, too, since everything except SUID is really that way, once it expires.

For consistency, they should do the same thing to Season Passes and auto-record Wishlists, changing the "Keep Until" to list the number of days (and SUID), with the default set at (and displayed as) "2 days".

Last, you should be able to change the "2 days" default globally.
