I've got a 250Mb; I do a lot of timeshifting, but that's turned out
to be an overkill, figure 1 hour to 5 Mb at standard (excellent)
quality, 4 times that at better than VHS quality.

What make/model/price? Less than £300?


Oh dear me no, not 250 Gbytes.

But good 80gig ones are sub 300 now, and I wouldn't be frightened as I was
before personal experience of using long play - it's far better than VHS or
TV itswelf now the authorities are crushing bandwidth.
