My RV shows are running about 160-250Mb per 30-min episode, & that size ratio  is same for 2-hour movies with variations, depending on sourece filetype. (MKVs seem to be smallest); so that was about 10 hours HD video on a 3.5Gb DVDR. (the RWs were $5 more, in the same stacks of 100)

I had a site in Brazil whjich kept up with nerw episodes for free, to pplay,  ad-free, on their site -0 they probably got bnought out by Hulu or Netflix, as  they've been gone a while.

Also had a link to watch any sport, any hour, from any perspective (home  station's commentator, ESPN, et al); live. I'm not into sports; I justy shared  it with mastes who were. . .it seemsd to be gone, too. . . no doubt ESPN bought
'em, grabbed anything of tech worthwhile, & buried the rest in the giant bit 
bucket in the sky. . .

100% Best price, as it's rare(not never, though -- I enjoy some good stuff as a profuct tester/reviewer) they pay you to buy things!
