Both the Toppy and Hummy record the incoming freeview stream so you always
get broadcast picture quality. They also both have 160GB hard disks so you
get at least 80 hours of recording. You'll probably get more as a lot of
channels transmit at a lower bit rate and hence take up less space per hour
of recording.
