Just on a random one, any reason why i get the following;

BBC One HD - 1hr 20min - 10.81GB
Sky1 HD - 1hr 5min - 3.65GB
Sky Movies Premiere HD - 2hr 5min - 12.16GB

How come the Sky1HD recording is so small? I understand its the bitrates etc but surely they should be near enough the same

I guess the Movie is also quite small considering there isnt much difference between it and the 1hr 20min BBC One recording?

500Gb is designed for those who are less bothered about recording but get a Tivo
