Re: Do you record more TV shows and movies than you can watch?

If I miss a program because I was out I watch it on iView later, if it is a TV series which I particularly want to watch then I just download it from the the Interweb thing and store it on my server to watch on a rainy day.
These DVRs are going the way of floppy disks - if mine fails I definitely wouldn't replace it.
I like my DVR as it has replaced the interface of my TV which isn't very good, anyway. The EPG is in grey, for example and the DVR is faster and sleeker. I'm only just getting back into TV viewing after a 7 year absence. If I wanted to watch a programme or film I could generally find it on my MacBook somehow, but the TV offers greater versatility.
I can't imagine having that many movies or TV series. My DVR is only 500GB, plus I've got another 500GB hard drive which is only a tenth full.
You and I have about the same amount of music, though. Even though I subscribe to Google Play Music for new music and to listen to their playlists, I'm glad I've got a 256GB phone to listen to music offline. It is of great benefit when I'm outside and don't want to use up my mobile data streaming music. I haven't quite gotten around to putting all my music on there yet but must have around 50 or so GB on there which is plenty for now.
I almost bought the 512GB model but sense prevailed. Some people call me mad for the price I did pay, anyway. 64GB was becoming a tight squeeze. I don't store TV shows on my iPhone XS Max though but perhaps I will as the screen is great.
