I have an old WD My Book connected to my 211. 400 gb shows up as 40 hours of HD recording. But I have a combination of HD/SD of 23 hours and it still shows 32 hours of HD/129DS available. I'm on the earc.
Someone correct me if i am wrong! But, when selecting a EHD. Does it need to have it's own external power supply and not rely on the 211's USB port to power up? Correct?

I did a analysis (unscientific) about the new capacity. The numbers given are for MPEG2. HD from satellite (which is MPEG4 on both arcs) is 5:1 ratio (5 minutes recording shows 1 minute used)
But that just shows what the hard drive shows after formatting it. The numbers are based on MPEG2 SD and not MPEG4
As noted in my post when I recorded MPEG4 it was a 5:1 ratio....5 minutes of MPEG4 HD recording took up 1 minute in the "capacity". SD MPEG2 was the only one that was right
