My take on having a large list of recorded programmes is that you may not want to watch them all, but decide now and again you may want to watch one of them.
It’s like making your own TV Choice list with your own preferences; never intend to watch everything recorded, but a ready made portfolio of programmes you like previously recorded and available to you any time no matter how long you keep them, while TV Choice will drop series/programmes after time.
I’m recording all episodes of “Seconds from Disaster” off the Nat Geo channel for example all in HD. Will probably only watch one now and again so would probably take me years to go through every episode. But at least I have them available at any time I want to watch and would prefer them to be off the Tivo HDD so I can pull them back when I want to watch them. Even with a 1TB GDD, Tivo is not best for long term HD programme storage like this so reason why interested in the Netgear readyNAS solution which seems to be available to work with Tivo in the USA.
