Uh, THANKS TO ALL OF YOU. One of you has 8 external hard drives, (I absolutely can't get over that fact.

After reading how much space I would need, I said "forget the whole thing, go over to your vcr and continue taping your tv shows".

Holy Cow!! I thought I was a big television recording person.
