Recording quality and
hard disk storage space
The space available for recording TV
programs depends on your hard disk size,
the percentage of hard disk space allocated to
recorded TV, and the recording quality setting.
To get the maximum recording time, change
the recording quality to Fair instead of the
default setting of Best.
