DVDs wont store ~14GB, time to get your self a Blu-Ray burnerahh crap, time to get a DVD burner.
Nothing special really, if you look up smth like EZTV, they do 720p rips (44) mins - 1.1gb, TG (60min) will be around 1.5gb, which is fine. No need for 4gb stuff.
700MB for SD, 1.0-1.5GB for the 720p (probably about 1.4), and no clue about the 1080p (the Polar Special was 7GB, but that seems much too large).
A dual layer burner will do, but the discs are expensive. Cheapest to just get HDs. Hell, you can buy a 750GB for like $100.
In the UK its the next big thing and the broadcasters (well BBC - see upyourego's posts) are tooling up for a 100% service in HD in the next few years. We are going fully Digital in 2010 - 2011 with a complete analogue switch off then. I have limited HD 1080i from my cable system, and I can't wait for 100% cover.how popular is HDTV in europe?
Well the smaller one will still be offered by the sounds of it. You'd just miss out on all that nutricious HD goodness, thats all.
you're missing the point, TG is one of those few shows where it'll be a MUST to download in HD, esp for folks like us who pipe their PC video output to their living room HDTVs like i do. thank god my tv is only 720p, i shudder to think about downloading 1080p rips.
Same here. I can't wait to watch it and with only 1.5mbit...Speak for yourself, I much prefer to get the first available rip in the hopes of watching it as soon as possible after the UK broadcast.
Then again, I'm an impatient bugger.
Thats the whole point of the "Stop" button in uTorrent, you stop the HD torrent until the smaller one is done .Speak for yourself, I much prefer to get the first available rip in the hopes of watching it as soon as possible after the UK broadcast.

Are we sure they will actually broadcast it in HD and not just film it with HD equipment?
