good question, they don't make that clear, do they, and it is a key piece of info.

- I'm guessing here, but assuming 6Mb/s being saved as MPEG2 you are looking at just over 2.5GB per hour, so an 80GB disk would give around 30 hours.

However, if I capture direct to DVD, at home, 4.7GB gives about 90 minutes recording, so 80GB would be around 25 hours.....

so my guess is about 25-30 hours.
