Since when was 60 hours of HDTV "plenty for even the stingiest of show hoarders?" That's a silly, frivolous statement if I ever heard one. That's a scant 2.5 days, compared to over 2.5 years of iTune podcasts I've already downloaded. It's a drop in the bucket. A drive of this type should begin with at least a terabyte of storage if it's going to keep halfway up with new TV standards. I hope the clunker isn't priced over 60 bucks. I've already seen Seagate 1 TB drives, with eSATA, selling for under 200 bucks on Amazon.
