So, for HR44 or HR54 1 "TB" -- 167 to 250 Hours of HD -So, For a Hs-17 which has a 2 "TB" drive you can double that.

Thanks!

 I was just wondering if I record the activities of today and the game, plus what I have already recorded if I would have enough storage space.

The higher resolution of the recording, the more space taken (480 SD, 720 HD, 1080 HD, 4K). If needed you can record from the SD version of the channel (though a few are HD only).

Genie (HR34, HR44, HR54/HR54R1) has the 1TB hard drive.

Regular HDDVRs (which you can have instead of Clients), have a 500GB hard drive (or 320GB for HR21 and earlier) to help increase and spread out space.

Genie-2 (HS17) has 2TB but forbids HDDVRs, only allowing Clients, so more capability up-front with less capability overall (Genie and 2 HDDVRs is same space as Genie-2 by itself but with more tuners).
