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.
The user can record upto 740 hours of SD independently of the 500GB reserved for Anytime.

I'm sure you know but Sky employ DVB-S2 (MPEG4) which is much more efficient than MPEG2 as used by VM.

But my word some of the SD PQ is ropey!
