Hello all,

Ever since I got it, about a year ago, my V+ box has shown typically 70 to 80 hours free for new recordings (obviously fluctuating depending on how much I had recorded).

Today I noticed this had dropped to 23, but I haven't recorded a load more programmes which would explain this. I have power re-cycled the box, no difference.

However, what I *did* do recently is change from using the SCART connection to using the HDMI connection. I've read on these boards that HD recordings are four times bigger than SD. So one explanation of the shorter time free could be that it is now recording everything in HD rather than SD.

Can anyone confirm that this is how it works?

Thanks in advance
