Assuming SD is 2:1 like V+ (160gb = 80 hours) then I would calculate 1TB as 500 hours

I'm baffled! (dosen't take much)
My original calculations were in my head, I just checked with a calculator and I have under estimated slightly. Here are the calculated figures:

SD 720 hours HD 180 Hours.


If any one wants to check, here are the recorded program times in minutes:

70 sd
70 hd
70 hd
210 hd
60 hd
70 hd
60 hd
170 sd
75 sd
70 hd
150 sd
120 sd

And TiVo is reporting 7% full. The deleted folder hasnt been emptied and there are recordings in there which I'm assuming arent counted as taking up space by Tivo.

Loving it Muppet, really looking forward to three tuners though, that will move it from good to excellent.
