How Many HD Programs Can the 8000HD Record and Store?
The standard 8000HD can store a minimum of 7 hours of HD programs. Optional
models of 8000HDs have a higher storage capacity. Contact your cable service
provider for details about the storage capacity of your 8000HD model.
HD programs require more storage space than non-HD programs because HD
programs use more pixels than non-HD programs. HD programs need more pixels
in order to produce images with the clarity and crispness that are characteristic of
HD pictures.

Time setting.
