I don't have any first hand experience, but around 20-40 GB per hour
is the figure I've seen batted around. I'm not sure if that's 720p or
1080i, but for me, it means either a severe limitation on the
recording capacity or spending more than I want to for storage.

HD is something I'd like to explore, especially because I use Myth
quite often to record sports, which are about the only things that
seem to be regularly broadcast in HD. But if it means only being able
to hold two games on a 200 GB HDD, I think I'll wait.
