I know others have answered this, but just incase here are my facts. I have just under 1TB of storage for recordings. I get between 210-240Hrs of shows recorded at any one time. Not all shows are HD, which is why I often state 4-10GB and an average of 5GB. Shows can be more than 19.6Mb/s when they have multiple audio subchannels. My fox station has 2 audio subchannels for their HD broadcast - A PBS station has 3 (The third is their radio station that gets recorded as part of their HD sub channel). Although HDTV can be more than 10GB/hr, for the next year assumming 6GB/hr will be fine, next year maybe you'll need 7GB/hr average. And not everyone will be doing 1080i at 19.6Mb/s, such as fox who does 720p since that is better for fast motion than 1080i, and it's only about 14Mb/s. --Brandon
