I don't think DVRs work that way. I do remember VCRs having recording speeds. I know burning DVS do as well, but don't think actual digital recordings use that term in quite the same way. If I remember correctly, the "recording speed" (SP, LP, SLP) would dictate amount of "space" on the VHS tape, but would also sacrifice the quality of the video to do so. So that more shows could be fit onto 1 VHS tape. SP was the clearest of the settings. The VCR SETTINGS would be Ex: a 120 min VHS tape could hold 120min on SP 'Standard Quality Play' OR 240min on EP 'Ext Play" OR even 360min on SLP 'Super Long Play.' Correct? If so, then I believe that the digital recordings' equivalent would be the resolution SETTINGS. For Ex: A lower resolution like 720p would be the same as SLP (fitting more video at lower quality onto the memory device) OR 1080p (which is High Def)= SP OR 3840p (4K/Ultra High Def) has no VHS equivalent!! VCR "speed" = DVR "resolution" That being said, Over The Air (OTA) content is over air broadcasting that's converted to HD aka High Def aka 1080p. So, if your question now is to figure out how much content you could put on a memory device, the only real limit would be the size of your memory device (External Hard Drive or Flash Drive in this particular case)!!!! They range from 1GB (gigabyte) to 2TB+(terabytes). The packaging will often have estimates of the amount of video time that will fit on that particular device. Ex: 64GB device can record approx 5 hours of High Def video. Hope that was clear to understand and that it helped!!
