</div>HD-PVR: 2000GB / 1.8GB per hour = ~1100 hours.<br>
<br>
HDHomeRun: 2000GB / 7GB per hour = ~266 hours.<br>
<br>
The HDHomeRun figure will in practice be larger than 266 since many HD<br>
channels over broadcast ATSC (or clear QAM cable) won't use the full<br>
available bitrate. A 5.4GB per hour bitrate equates to 370 hours, so<br>
300 hours is about right given a typical mixture of bitrates.<br>
<br>
Conversely, while the default HD-PVR bitrate settings produce<br>
excellent HD video, using the maximum available bitrate will<br>
approximately double the space used per hour.<br>

Space will also depend upon if HD content or SD content. but still, definitely more than 1.8Gb.<br><br> <br></div></div>
