56, some of which were four rather than three hours duration. Most of them were full! At least you could buy more if you needed them.

I watch everything within about an 18 month period, and then they are deleted.

I appreciate that you may do things differently, but I watch TV when it is convenient to me. I even record News at 10 because I’m not always ready to watch it at the scheduled time. Watching it at 2am is not that unusual.

We all use our TVs in different ways. I am watching it exactly in the way that Virgin advocated.

If it wasn’t for the bookmark (watchlist) alternative, it would be absolutely hopeless.

1TB is fine, especially with the reduced space required as the new encoders have been implemented by VM. We used to be 50-60% full before that.
Yes, 1Tb I’m sure is ok for the way you use it, but you probably watch a lot of TV ‘live’. I don’t. Everything is pre-recorded or bookmarked. Scheduled TV does my head in - I don’t have the hours in the day to waste so much time.
