I'm new to television recording and video formats.
I've tried changing lots of setting in the options of my Fusion HDTV tuner pci card software (newest version)and the file size always comes out the same around 9 gig for one hour of digital TV recording.
I was hoping to be able to back up an hour to a single layer DVD at least or smaller.
There is a tab in the options call 'analog'that gives the option of VCD, mpeg-1, SVCD, mpeg2 and DVD, does that mean I need to record non digital channels to got the option of smaller file sizes? -----

The sizes are all related to the channel you use, HD will always result in massive file sizes, even digital is fairly large. This all because there is absolutly no compression used whilst recording to the .tp format, a little effort on your part is going to have to be used, go to this here site and have a read:

Happy to answer any questions after you've given this a shot.

DTV files get huge partially because of the size of MPEG-2 packets that are transmitted.
For files on the PC, a packet size around 2K is typical, but for DTV I think it's about 200 bytes. This results in a much bigger file for the same quality.
I'm still on the lookout for decent software to change bitrates and things like GOP size. Most of what's out there fails to perform as advertised. -----

Under the "record/timeshift" then "A/V capture" tab, make sure you have .mpg selected instead of .tp for the recording format. I think the A/V Capture tab is the one that dictates how it's recorded.
If you're to transcode the digital signal on the fly I don't think your (or any for that matter) CPU would be able to handle it. Record the TV show then transcode it and edit out the ads to get the size you need.
1 hour of HDTV (1080i) for me is about 4.7GiB. After you've recorded the video file (and have the DVB-T Plus card), there's some software that comes with the tuner software called "Fusion Converter", you may be able to use it to convert it to something usable. -----

No worries mate, as i said ask more questions if you need to.
mark84 , i wouldnt advise recording to .mpg straight away, tried that and had so many sync probs it wasnt funny, imo when it comes to video editing its always better to work step by step and work from proper source files. -----
