You will Never have to worry about HD space again

I saw this, and thought I would share.

I just thought this was more amusing, than is it practical.

Re: You will Never have to worry about HD space again

I do not have Tivo. But, like I said. It's amusing. Who will ever need 24TBs of DVR recordings. Let alone 2TB.

Yeah, but it's only 6 tuners.

Since it isn't available until 2015, the $5000 price tag may change.
And the other burning question: what's the lifetime service charge? Oops. Saw it's built-in.
The other tidbit: TiVo Minis are losing the monthly fee.

My 3 TB TiVo Roamio Pro is 85% full!

Of course, that's from the various free previews Verizon's aired of premium channels, and I use my six tuners to record as much of them as I can, just in case I ever want to watch that stuff later. I've got the first three seasons of Game of Thrones sitting unwatched on my TiVo thanks to a marathon that HBO aired during the previous free preview.

Yes very impractical. Especially with only six tuners. I already have over 140TB of storage available on my network between my three unRAID setups and other NAS devices. I can use some of that to store TiVo recordings if I want. Well except for HBO or CInemax on FiOS.
But 24TB of storage with only six tuners sounds pretty useless.

Yea and who would ever need more than 64K memory for a computer .. oh wait that was 1981.

If 4K becomes a standard and all the on-line services offer 4K streaming that 2TB could be filled up with a movie collection.

Not if RAID is used across multiple drives. With that much storage I would hope RAID 5 was always used.

How many hours of programming does 24TB equate to? How could anyone possibly have time to watch that much recorded programming unless you have a family of 10 living in your house.

Response will be they dont even watch 90% of it.

Just like to have alot of stuff around.

24TB = 4,000 HD hrs according to article.

From the CED article:
"The six-tuner TiVo Mega has a mind-boggling 24 terabytes of storage, which is the equivalent of over 26,000 hours of SD storage space and 4,000 hours of HD space."

Who says you have to watch it? I only watch a fraction of what I record. I record over 400 shows every two week period. I only watch a small percentage of that. But I do want a wide variety of content available to watch when I sit down to watch TV. Since I never know what I will be in the mood to watch.

My 500 gb DVR is 28% full. I have rarely exceeded 50% full. There are only two of us. We also watch Verizon VOD, Netflix (which includes PBS VOD), and Amazon Prime, which keeps the DVR from loading much at all.

At least that shouldn't apply to the stuff I actually care about. The programs I've marked as Keep Until I Delete are automatically archived off to my ReadyNAS Ultra. I'll lose the HBO/Cinemax programs, but I'll keep everything else I want to save.

they could take that $5000 and buy umpteenth years worth of all the top streaming services with unlimited access to every show catalog and movie, rather than trying to save DRM protected content that becomes useless once you disable your service

I think around 160 or 170. I do have dozens of Season Passes for news programs. And I only have it set to keep one episode from most of those so I always have the most recent newscast.
EDIT: I just checked online. 184 with the Season PAsses from my Roamio Pro, OTA Roamio BAsic, and OTA Premiere.
