Besides the 160G in my Replay that is usually 70-80% full, I have 2 PC's w/DVArchive set up. One has about 100 gigs of saved shows and the other has about 70.
I really use my DVArchive for just that; archiving. I don't think I ever moved anything onto DVArchive that I didn't already watch. I just save shows I know I'll watch in future, and always have a bunch of cooking shows. In fact, one of the PC's is *all* cooking shows.
The problem I'm having now is space. I really don't feel like adding any more HD space. I find the more space I have, the more I fill it up...no matter how much may seem 'enough'. It's a discipline thing. Really, just human nature. Ever notice that people NEVER seem to have enough space? We really like to fill up every available space, then move into something bigger; only to fill that up. It's vicious circle to get caught up in. The old 'nature abhors a vacuum' thing.
What I really need to do is start burning DVD's to free up some HD space...until I need a bigger house to store the DVD's.
Botton line: You're not that big a pack-rat. I think you'll find there are some here (I'm not mentioning any names, YOU know who you are) who have obscene amounts of space dedicated to DVArchive; not to mention multiple Replay units.
