I think you're getting confused with hours - VM say the V+ can record 80 hours, and as a general rule of thumb broadcast quality SD MPEG2 comes in at roughly about something a bit like 2GB an hour (although on Freeview these days you're probably looking at closer to 1GB/hr), so the V+ must have a 160GB drive.

I think the Sky+HD box has a 320GB drive, but Sky steal half of that so it comes to about the same.

Also, whoever said that a 160GB drive won't be enough once we get more HD channels is quite right! I struggle to find space for recordings from just one HD channel!
