Can I believe that last statement? You’re going to record 50 hours of programming each day of eight?
When are you going to find time to watch those 400 hours?

Anything more just costs more money. I watch a lot of TV and record everything in HD and it's enough for me. The PS4 is the same, when the PS4 pro was released it had 1TB and some games with the updates come close to 100gb. I believe once 4k starts taking off more, if cloud storage isn't available, then VM will announce a V6 box with 2TB of storage.

My suggestion was that there should have been a simple choice of 1TB or 2TB. If people only need 500GB, the 1TB fits with that requirement. Who would complain about too much space?

I don't think anyone has complained about having too much space with the V6, Mythica! :D

I've not said anyone has complained about it. I was making a point of why someone wouldn't want 1TB if 500GB is enough yet they have to pay for it. 1TB is plenty enough for the majority of VM customers and as you can't please everyone, it's the middle ground they went for.

I've having an opinion, not arguing about it. They could have had a choice but they didn't, probably because 1TB is plenty enough for the vast majority of VM customers, even with 4K here. When 4K has more channels, there is nothing stopping them offering a 2TB box. Those of us with 2 V6 boxes already have 2TB.

At which point, we lose all our recordings. Good thinking, Mythica.
