I accidentally recorded All Aboard! The Great Reindeer Migration from BBC4 HD again the other day, and it occurred to me to check how much space they both took, I was curious.

5.41GB - was recorded on 24th December 2018 back when BBC4 HD was on 163
2.3GB - was recorded on 12th December this year.

I'm assuming most of this difference is the switch from MPEG2 to MPEG4. I was expecting the newest recording to be around 3GB, so the difference was much better.

Thought it might briefly interest others who have VM TV how much has changed behind the scenes, and yet how little they may have noticed.
