Hi @lauramax 

 

it really depends on each individual programme  lengths & the biit rates within them

I haven't looked recently but around a year or so I found  On my box

HD recording is typically around 2.5-3.5 Gb per hour
UHD around 7.5-9.0 Gb per hour

 

P.S. Don't forget some storage is reserved for pause/rewind of the main & mini boxes and other system functions - I am afraid I don't know how much remains for recordings we make

Hi @lauramax 

Solely depends on the content format 
(ie SD or HD or UHD).

A typical 2 Hr UHD Movie will be Approx 16 GB.

In HD this will be Approx 4GB

In SD 1 GB.

I will let you do the Maths.

Also depends whether you have a 1 TB or 2 TB box
