Issue 166: Outgoing data transfer to chart.apis.google.com

Reported by macme...@gmail.com, Oct 1, 2010
What Version of iTiVo? 1.7.6

What Version of MacOS X? 10.5.8

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. iTivo frequently wants to connect to chart.apis.google.com but I don't want that. When I used Little Snitch to stop that outgoing connection, iTivo hangs and goes unresponsive. 

I'm guessing that you are using that URL to generate the nice pie chart of Tivo hard drive usage. Could you please prevent iTivo from going unresponsive when it can't connect to Google? 

Apps that phone home are suspect, and even if it is just making a nice pie chart, it was unexpected and I certainly did not expect the app to get all wonky just because it couldn't connect to Google. 

Perhaps a preference to allow/disallow outgoing internet connections might be in order. 

I don't mean to complain or gripe! I just got iTivo recently and so far I'm Very Impressed with your work! Thanks! ITivo is very useful. 
Best, 
Dave Nathanson
