Its 'pushed' via satellite.
Heh, I
really should update that part.

Therefore TiVo should be:
500 hours of SD and 125 hours of HD.
I suspect TiVo is under reporting its hours.

The odd thing is, the hours for SD recording seemed to reduce as I did more research.
On VM's TiVo Press release, its listed as 500 SD hours.
In VM's TiVo user guide, its stated as 400 SD hours.
Then Carl from TCF told me its actually 325 SD hours
What really blew me away was the 700+ SD recording hours on Sky+HD 1TB (which is actually 1.5TB). I'm
assuming at the moment that includes hours 'pushed' onto the box by Sky Anytime, into the reserved 500Gb partition.
