Record enough shows... at what, 3~5 gigs per 2 hour movie...  Where I work, we 
sell a 3u system that can have up to 1.7 usable terabytes of redundant 
storage.  We've reached the 2tb blocksize limit.  We've got another chassis 
that we're evaluating that allows for 12 ATA disks in a 3u chassis, which 
would go well beyond the 2tb limit and would have to be split up into 
multiple arrays.  You could hold a few movies on that beast (;
