Recording Quality And Hard Disk Drive Storage Space - HP z558 Software Manual

Recording quality and hard disk drive storage space

The space available for recording TV programs depends
on your hard disk drive size, the percentage of hard disk
drive 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.
