It is, but something that's not recorded is:

How much do you record but never watch?

I record a lot of stuff "just in case", and often never get around to watching 
it.

I've also archived a lot of  programs to DVD and put them on the shelf, again 
"just in case".

Much of this material could be had from the internet, an example is "60 
Minutes". I record it "just in case", but I suppose I could get the program 
from the internet if it turned out to be something I want to watch.
