does anyone know if the hopper makes suggestions to what it thinks you might like to record?? and if i disable the prime time recording feature will it free up the other terribyte of the hard drive so i can record more content vs having to buy a external hard drive??

It will take a lot of recordings to use up what you have available to you. If you fill that much up, I don't think freeing up PTAT will last too long before you would need to add an EHD anyway.

No, the Hopper will not make suggestions on viewing. PTAT partition has moved into the user area of the HD, so it is now more than 1 TB. It's like 1.5 or something now.

For an example of usuage, I currently have 100 programs recorded. About 70 hours of HD and 40 hours of SD. I am at 14%

How many EHDs does one Hopper support?
