| Re: HD PVR lets you record from your set top box to your PC
Yeah, probably 80-100 (160-200 hours). Video doesn't really compress to well unless you get into lossy compression. I think the big benefit of this device will be that you can watch a movie on cable and record it on your PC. That then gives you the option to edit the commercials out and burn it to a DVD or Bluray disc and share it with your friends...err I mean make a backup copy for your own personal use or stream it to other devices in your home from the hard drive. Drives are getting cheaper too so you could start with a terabyte now and add more when you need more space. PVR, and movie storage in general, seems to be one of the driving forces right now for bigger and better hard drives.
