For example, a one hour recording of The Shield came in at about 3 gigs. Where as a one hour recording on the Trio channel came in at 1 gig. I've been attributing these results to compression of the higher numbered channels which I assume are being broadcast via a digital signal vs. the lower channels that I assume are still being broadcast via a less bandwidth efficient analog signal. Hence the larger file size. Not exactly the problem you're having but interesting none the less.
If anyone has more knowledge about such things I'd really like to hear their thoughts.

Certain channels come in pretty fuzzy, with bad quality, showing diagonal lines on the screen. Most channels come in just fine and look great. These channels come in all fuzzy on a normal TV as well.
Here's the big problem though - on those channels with the poor quality, the recording sizes are abnormally HUGE! We're talking about 3-4 times larger than the recordings should be. For instance, a normal hour-long show will take up 0.74 gigs, but the ones on the flaky channels will take up anywhere from 2.5 to 3.5 gigs! It's really crazy!
