My wife has all the x files shows recorded which is over 100, and we have hundreds of other shows recorded on terabytes of hard disk.
Not quite true, YoutubeTV has an unlimited DVR and does not use your bandwidth to make the recordings. Only downside is that the recordings are only good for 9 months. If it takes me 9 months to watch something, it wasn't worth recording in the first place.
