How many hrs on a 320GB drive?

[cruzmisl]

Hi All,
I bought a WD 320GB My book to add to my 622. Just curious how many hours of HD programming I'll be able to store on it?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Joe

I have 53 - 1 hour mostly mpeg 4 shows on a 320 gig (297 usable) drive... 114.8 GB still available...

Awesome. That's plenty. I picked one up from Staples for $80 delivered using some coupons

OTA HD takes more space than Dish HD. I am seeing about 97MB/minute, so a 34 minute show (30 minutes plus the 1 before and 3 minute after padding) is taking about 3.2 GB. The 2 hour Lost season finally (2 hours 6 minutes) took 12GB.

For OTA I would estimate 40-50 hours on a 320 drive.

The HBO / Sho from 148 are still full rezz so they take up more room also... I believe TNT is still downrezzed (so they are same size as the Mpeg 4 programs) and I am only putting Cold Case's and Csi Miami's on the drive with 114 gigs left...
