Ah, them lol. You seriously think fios, cox and Comcast has less than 1tb of program available through vod? Then even with 2tb dish has less if you are going to count vod, the other providers don't need local storage for it.
Are you guessing or do you know by having Fios or Cox etc...? (I am genuinely asking) I am going by what my Father-in-Law has in Florida with Fios and the Fios site.
Multi-room DVR

standard definition content

Italics and underline mine.
So What I am saying,
Dish has 500hrs of HD recording,
or 250hrs of HD individual recording, not including all the Network recording you could do with PTAT, and not including any of the VOD space.
Fios has 80hrs of SD recording........
If I am missing something or wrong I always come back and say so. But why would I change what I am saying if these figures are correct?
I'm not seeing how Dish is anything but light years ahead in recording space.
I had brought this up because of this post -
In their adverts they say 2tb, more than any other provider, so most people would compare to direct, fios, cable and have 2tb in their head and see everyone else has 500gb or less, 1tb for direct, and think, wow dish has 2x or more than all the other guys. That's why it is misleading, there is no way around that.
Doesn't Dish have MORE than double the recording space, without the VOD - without even the PTAT space? I'm willing to go down the misleading path if my figures are wrong, and Indeed Fios (maybe others) are not less than twice the space. If Dish including VOD is the only reason they have more space, I might agree. I'm not seeing it. If you add two more DVR's to the whole home system with Fios it almost matches the user section of 250hrs
HD Dish has, but with
Fios it's SD and not including space for PTAT and all those network recordings Dish has, and at a much higher cost per month. Add two HD receivers, you still have only 80hrs SD with Fios and their whole home system, and still at a greater cost per month.
