For the programs I've grabbed off TV One/2 it's always been a lot 
closer 1.5GB/hr, much lower than the the 2.2GB I use for my PVRx50s. 
That's on 1031/1032.  I think it varies a bit by program/type.

For instance a West Wing episode I have currently is 1.23GB for 
59min, while Criminal Minds is 1.43GB for 64min and the Edinburgh 
Military Tattoo was 3.21GB for 119min, so that's between 
1.2GB-1.6GB/hour.  What types of programs are you seeing higher rates 
for?
