About Recorded TV Storage Space Settings
The space available for recording TV programs depends on
your hard disk allocation, drive size, and default recording
quality selections. Your PC requires a certain amount of
space to run your Windows XP operating system, run
software programs, and store data files. If your hard disk
becomes full, it may affect the PC speed and performance.
You may need to free up storage space to record more
programs or to optimize the PC’s performance.
