Almost every day I record three channels at the same time.
That means little without bandwidth stats (or disk space used per hour) for those channels.
On average under 3500 kbit/s = 1.5 GB/hour for most Finnish channels, at least on DVB-T, and I doubt cable is any better here.
And because the original question concerned Finnish channels I thought that was irrelevant because I also live in Finland :) And I have understood that here in Helsinki HTV is "just" putting the streams from the air to cable.
I have not really analysed the average bitstrean but I doubt if it is even near 3500 kbit/s. So low quality it is.
