Not sure on Mpeg 2 for TIVO.
It depends on the bitrate of the hd being recorded. Sky can give you 240 hours at a bitrate of 10 Mb per second. Blu-ray is 40 Mb per second.

Now every channel and even shows within a single channel have a different bit rate so hours of recording can only ever be an estimate. i think this is why we see so many different recording hour figures
