My PVR-350 at 720x480 produces files that are about 2.4GB/hour with a
high bit rate, or about 5GB for a 2 hour+ movie. Transcoding can reduce
that by half again, but it loses quality so I don't bother. Disk space
is cheap.

I've looked at the HW MPEG2 encoders but MPEG2 seems to take up too
much room. I tried using the SW MPEG2 encoding in MythTV and within
one day my 160GB disk was filled. Even though I turned on automatic
transcoding to MPEG4, the recordings just seemed to get ahead of the
transcoding. Once the disk was full, it couldn't transcode any more.
Do the HW encoders produce smaller video files? I don't remember the
exact file size but I think a 2.5 hour program was something like
26GB! (640x480)
