TiVo will have chosen a certain bit rate to use as the basis of the hours calculation. So some channels will use less than that - not sure if some use more.

I don't think TiVo has ever published what bitrate they assume for HD and SD channel bitrates, but there are some posts around for the US TiVo boxes. Whether it's the same or different for other TiVo based boxes I'm not sure.

The bit of TiVo I was talking about is if you press OK on an individual recording to get the the full screen show information, and then press Info to bring up the recording information. At the bottom is detail about how much the recording physically takes up on the hard disk
