I am confused about recording quality

What is the recording quality coming out of the hauppauge usb2 pvr?

Now I am using excellent, but maybe it is useless?

What is the best quality supplied by this pvr?


Thanks for your answers.

Mpeg-2 Max quality uses 12 mbit/s and is the highest setting allowed by the Hauppauge usb(2) pvr device.

PVR-150, Built-in hardware MPEG-2 encoder. Record TV or videos to disk using from 1-2 Gigabytes of disk space per hour of recorded video
Does this mean that any sagetv setup over "GREAT" (2gig per hour) is a waist of disk space?

I use a custom setting of 9mbit/s which comes out to about 4.5GB/hr and still see some ghosting and blockiness when watching some sporting events. So I would have to say that no it is not always a waste to use more than 2GB/hr...
