How Many HD Programs Can the 8000HD Record and Store?

The standard 8000HD can store a minimum of 7 hours of HD programs. Optional models of 8000HDs have a higher storage capacity. Contact your cable service provider for details about the storage capacity of your 8000HD model.

HD programs require more storage space than non-HD programs because HD programs use more pixels than non-HD programs. HD programs need more pixels in order to produce images with the clarity and crispness that are characteristic of HD pictures.

Time setting.
