I have 500 gb Tivo and have never had any capacity problems. Quite simply once the many programmes recorded individually and as series links have been watched by anyone who wants to,we delete them.

The only things kept are mainly childrens movies saved for my 5 year old grandaughter. Virtually everything recorded is HD and we have never been at more than 80% capacity.

I believe the 500gb is for "everyday people" who still mainly watch live TV and only record when necessary for programme clashes, out at work etc. Whereas the 1 TB is for people who fully utilize the Tivo and tend to record everthing so they can watch it at their leisure.
