Well, I used to get about 1.15GiB/hr from my PVR-x50's, but now, the 
standard def digital OTA I receive is just over 2GiB/hr.  I did choose 
quantity over quality for NTSC (as NTSC doesn't really have quality) and 
it seems that my local broadcasters are choosing to provide pretty good 
quality (ignoring that most of it is simply captured NTSC), so the ATSC 
standard def I get is much better quality.  But file size is exclusively 
determined by bitrate, so...
