DigitalTV channels broadcast variable amounts of data, depending on the type of program being aired. For
instance,there may be times when a sports specialty channel broadcasts a larger quantity of data than channels
whose lineups are primarily made
up of talk shows or so ap operas. Sports programs generally involve much
more movement, and more data are therefore required
to reproduce the images on your screen. The number
of recording hours available to you therefore variesaccording to the types
of programs you record.
Based on the average amount of data transmittedby an SD TV (StandardDefinition Television) channel,
a PVR terminal’s 80-gigabyte hard drive can store up to 50 hours of recorded programs.
HDTV (High-DefinitionTelevision) channelsneed to transmit 2 to 2.5 times more data than standard channels
to reproducea higher
quality image on your screen.Your PVR HD is equipped with a high-capacity hard drive
(160 gigabytes) that lets you store up to
20 hours of high-definition programming,or up to 100 hours of
standard-format content.
