[mythtv-users] PVR-250 with 3Mbps bitrate

[Scott Blomfield]

I believe that we read mbit, and Will read mbyte. 3mbyte/s works out to
about 10Gbyte/hour .... and you can certainly turn it down a lot from
there!

MPEG2.

Hope I did my calculations right, but isn't 3Mbit/sec about
1.3Gbyte/hour?
So you're recording at twice the bitrate he asked about.
