4. Archive to harddisk

Drives in the sweetspot (500GB+) cost about $0.20 per GB - about the
same as blank DVDs. But you'll probably have a lot of unused space on
the DVDs as shows will seldom fit exactly. So a drive is cheaper. It
also saves you having to store a bunch of DVDs. And you don't need to
find the right disk to play.

Cheers,
