Basically if you have missed something to record, you might go on there to check to see they might have put it on? </p> </p>
Yes They also had first 2 episodes of Weeds a month or so before the series started. The hard drives are partitioned with half of it unavailable for you to record to and it's this they've put it on, if you see something on there that you'd like to keep a while (as they are deleted off after a certain length of time) you can by pressing record. Personally I'd prefer to have the extra space for my own use.
Don't worry about it Susie You ain't missing anything. You need one of the newer boxes because it's on the 80gb boxes which actually have a 160gb partitioned drive.
