[G4] tv on a G4

[Daniel Brieck]

5 gigs for two hours, that is purely wasteful of drive space for tv 
programs that we usually delete after watching.... These are TV 
programs not DV Video from are camcorders.... 5 Gigs that has to be 
MPEG 2 quality video aka DVD. That is a waste of space, with my setup 
here are the numbers 599 MB for 1 hour. Thats all and many show can be 
archived on a 120 gig hard drive with this set up......
