166.7 days of HD. I'm sure my wife could fill that with @#$% in no time. I might need three.
Edit: It would take her just under a calendar month to fill the thing with six tuners and no padding. Easy...

Sorry STC. It wasn't in News like it should have been. You can just delete mine.

If I had money to burn, I'd get two. And a giraffe.
But seriously, there are advantages to 'it just works' products. The TiVo ticks off a lot of boxes for what I want, I use MCE because the total cost is lower.

All that storage space and still only six tuners?
No ability to expand the number of tuners either. Seems short sighted.
