That's not the case - as has been discussed over on the Community Forum when you made the same point there:

did a little test with Sky Sports News recording same programme for 36 minutes

SD 0.95GB

HD 1.84GB

So about twice the space used for HD recordings.

I did a similar test with ITV, C4 & C5 earlier too. Roughly speaking - as you say - about twice the size.
