How much room on a Verizon Fios DVR?

Question

I have a Verizon Fios DVR and won't be home this weekend. I want to tape the two Final 4 games this saturday. I want to know how much HD things take up on the DVR. The regular things take up much less space but I want to see if I can fit the 2 games both in HD.

So anyway, I just want to know how much HD programs take up on a Verizon DVR.

Answer 1

You can record up to 80 hours of standard definition programming and up to 18 hours of HD programming.  I would also recommend that you go into settings and extend the record time at the end of the games just in case of OT.  You don't want to invest all that time and have the ends cut out because the games ran over and you didn't plan for it.  That has happened to me while DVRing the NASCAR race.

Also don't forget to check the status of what you already have recorded.  Go to the DVR page and arrow down to "Recorder Status" it will show you how much timed you used and the disk space available.
