You have a good plan then. Around here, the "rental" of the box is $8/month and then the service itself is another $10/month. And you definitely can't burn off any of the data you record--I'm confused as to how your DVR does that, since I'm pretty sure it's copyright infringement.
I think we have an 80 GB drive, but the main reason we need so much space is we keep a lot of the kids' shows indefinitely. Once we watch ours we delete them, but they like to watch their shows again and again and again... Oh, I just remembered another feature of the homemade box: we have a second machine that is a slave to the first one, that lives upstairs and streams the data off the first machine over the network, so we can watch two recorded shows at the same time.
