that's roughly what i get too (~2.1 - 2.3GB/hr). i'm filling up my 300GB hard drive faster than i can watch the Modern Marvels episodes i've been recording. :) > PS Start looking at bigger hard drives... :) or you can check out 'transcode', which will significantly shrink the size of your files but will also reduce the quality some. it's not easy to find simple instructions on how to use it though. i'm still digging through the archives and transcode man pages... _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
