Oh cool! We don't have ours set up to burn to a hard drive. We just have the DVR we got from DISH Network, and when it gets filled up, we have to dump some old stuff to make room for the new.
Mine can record up to 200 hours worth of programming...20 different programs.
It cost an ever-lovin' fortune, but I'm thinking it's gonna be worth it in the long run. The hard part was hooking it up to my archaic TV!
