What is the hard disk drive capacity? How many hours of TV programming can I store?
The Explorer 8000 and 8000HD have an 80 GB hard disk drive. Depending on whether you are recording analog, digital or high definition programming, you can record and store between 30 and 50 hours. The Explorer 8300 and 8300HD have 160 GB hard disk drives. Again, depending on the type of program these can record up to 90 hours of standard definition digital programming. Analog programs are larger and take up more space than digital programs and high definition programs take up more space than analog and standard definition digital.
