Great info, thanks.  That&#x27;s a 4-6x size improvement from what I&#x27;m seeing now, so that&#x27;d be very helpful.  Probably actually cheaper to buy this than just get a larger HDD.<p>I&#x27;d looked at options that would auto-transcode recordings on disk, but they generally changed enough things that it wouldn&#x27;t maintain the metadata and&#x2F;or otherwise treated them as individual videos and not episodic content.<p>One last question, do you happen to have any extenders?  I&#x27;m using an xbox 360 as an extender and I wonder if it can play the h.264 encoded video.
