I am not familiar with TW devices (other than the myriad of complaints I have heard about their service/equipment). But, all digital signals are not created equal. Different resolutions will have different storage requirements. 1080i requires more than 720p. CBS and NBC are 1080i, FOX and ABC are 720p, so yes, CBS will take more space than ABC.
