Wow, you won't get many UHD recordings on a 1TB box for that. This is why I thought all UHD material would be on demand or we'd have access to cloud 'recording'.

A bit of a disappointment really, but not unexpected.
Well what we don’t know is what plans are longer term - in practice a variable bitrate will be deployed at some point averaging a lower bitrate and that could give efficiencies of 20-30% reducing the recording space. Streaming services use a lower bitrate than VM.
