On my 80GB hard drive I have about anywhere between 70 and 100 episodes of Seinfeld archived (because watching Soup Nazi on demand is why I built my Freevo box).
I use up anywhere between 3 and 6 gb for regular everyday recordings that are deleted daily. I have about 15GB free as of right now and I record at 640x480 - plenty good enough to watch. --Joe > -----Original Message----- > From: Gray, Tim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 11:44 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: RE: [Freevo-users] Hard Drive Space > > > depends, what format? what bitrate? > > as a pvr-250 user I get 1 hour of video per 2 gigs of hard > drive space.
