On my 80GB hard drive I have about anywhere between 70 and 100 episodes of Seinfeld archived (because watching Soup Nazi on demand is why I built my Freevo box).
I use up anywhere between 3 and 6 gb for regular everyday recordings that are deleted daily. I have about 15GB free as of right now and I record at 640x480 - plenty good enough to watch.
