80GB I would assume is the start...

A friend of mine just started working for Cablevision, and one of the first things to learn was set top boxes. The HD-DVR only has 160GB hard drive, and boy were his supervisors pissed when he took it out of the demo unit and said "I want a bigger one!"...

HD-DVR + 160GB hard drive costs waaaay too much for a cableco to put onsite ($1000+). Building a massive RAID array at the headend makes it that much easier to build and maintain. That way the client only needs an HD box.

PS: Cablevision's HD-DVRs have both a SATA port and a FireWire port to add extra storage yourself...
