Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
The fact that we have now a UHD box with only 1 TB of recording space, which would not allow for many UHD recordings, I suspect that the plan VM have is for all UHD material to be available on demand or introduce an ability to record to the cloud.

I use three separate machines to record my HD viewing now as one is totally inadequate.

Secret is to watch the games you will hear the result of first.

As for your suggestion that UHD recordings won't take up that much space if you watched it pretty quickly - I am fairly sure the amount of space each recording will use is the same if you keep it for 1 day or 1 month. Of course the cumulative space used will be more the longer you keep them for, but this also applies to HD recordings.

My thoughts on the pitiful disk space remain
I thought he meant watch everything fairly quickly and then delete it. That way, you would not have too many recordings in 'My Shows' at any one tiime, which makes sense if you can live with that.
