DVR storage usage of high def vs digital (non-hd)
On our whole house DVR from Cox, I have found that an hour of High Def TV takes up about 1% of its capacity. Does anyone know how much capacity/space digital TV (non-high def) will use. This could either be in percentages or how the data storage between digital and high def compare. I know digital takes less but not sure of how much.

Both HD and non-HD (SD) are digital. Per Cisco specs for the 8700 series DVR's, a 1TB drive can hold 124 hours of HD programming. That is consistent with your 1%. The same 1TB drive will hold 560 hours of standard definition programming. That leads to a ratio 4.5:1. Of course, these are specs / averages, YMMV but the ratio should be close.
