Over night promo - Record 8 shows at once?

[SomeDishGuy]

In the over night promo pushed thru last night, they state you can record 8 shows at once. I assume that means a single Hopp and a Super Joey and PTAT.
Any other way?

That's the meaning of it. Recording 4 PTAT, recording two extra on the hopper. Recording two more on the Super Joey's tuners (recording on the Hopper, of course), grand total of 8.

We're all aware of the show Hoarders, right? I think we'll encounter this with DVRs. Some folks have so many things recorded, if they started watching it all now, I'm not convinced they could watch it all in a year.

There are of course limits as to what the hard drive can do in a DVR. It is not the data transfer speed, but the amount of seeking it has to do. Given that people can be watching shows while others are recording, it puts a lot of load on the disk.
