Most people to record in HD also record in a higher resolution.  Many 
people who record HD programs on the DVR box find that the program can 
take 2 or 3 times the amount of hard drive space.  It is like a picture 
at 800x600 resolution is usually smaller that a picture at 1027x768 
resolution.  There will more info; more shadows and color gradations 
causing a larger file size.  I don't want to record in HD, digital is 
fine with me and the files can be compressed.
Analog recording is ok, it doesn't look that great and it doesn't have 
compression.  I plan on connecting a digital box to my MythTV box so 
that I can get recording in digital.  ~Anne
