How big is your TV Collection?

Hey guys,

Just wondering, how big roughly IS your TV collection (Just TV Eps, not movies or music or anything.) Please use the above poll to vote and feel free to post any other information about it

Personally im 500gb+ at the moment, but it grows by at least 2 gb a week if not more.

I'm unable to answer this.. Theres no 200-300GB option

..and that's not counting what I've got burnt to DVDs, which I need to do another round of because my server is getting full (again).

You put my collection to shame - I'm in the 100-200GB category. Things probably won't improve too much either if they keep cancelling stuff I watch (most recently Las Vegas )!

Whoops, fixed, PHPBB3 only lets 10 options max on the poll. Should be good now XD. I cant wait for next season, now that the writers strike is officially over we should have a good amount of shows each week

NBC have cancelled Las Vegas, so the one a couple of weeks ago was it. You'll only be able to get your fix by watching out for the Montecito popping up in other shows.. It was in The Knight Rider 2008 pilot last week (which also had a couple of other sequences reminiscent of LV's intro thingo) !

I saw it on the internet, it must be true: article.

ummm missing another option there..
sitting with about 15k episodes taking up about 3TB of space.
Lots and lots of episodes to rename. THANK YOU TVRENAME!!!!

No missing options, just >900gb only 10 options allowed on the poll :p

Nice collection though, we need to have a LAN

sloooooooooowly growing...
tv series is now standing on 18k files sizing about 4.5TB.
had to expand my HDD's this last week which kept me busy.
I bought my self 12x1TB seagate drives, which emptied my bank account with about $3100...... lets just say no other computer spares for a few months..

Yeah im about to go similar, but just dont have the money....damn rent and living expenses. For now im deleting stuff like porn to make way for new TV shows :p and using older 80gb-250gb drives that i find laying around as temp storage. Its all good though, TV Rename will sort them for me once i finally get a bigger centralised HDD

Sooo.. Wanna buy some second-hand 200GB IDE drives?

Thx to the statistics of the last two versions i now have proof!!!

god damn

I havent quite added all mine yet but im only at 130 shows, 2000ish eps, you put us all to shame.

Well

2008 was a great year. Since it is 6 months later, i feel i need to show my latest totals.

Taking up a healthy 6.41 TB ( or 7,048,702,958,306 bytes), it grew from 15604 eps in June to 22457 eps in December
(43% more).



Missing episodes is still a nightmare, but i will fight it, i promise.

Happy new year Stevee and friends

865GB. Wow.

Currently have 400+ gb on my hardrive but I've burnt maybe hundreds of DVDs before.
Before I modded the XBOX into becoming my home theater center I used to remove complete seasons to DVDs and just delete them from the HD now its fun to have them all available at your fingertip ...not good for my hardrives budget though :-/

oh come on they need to add 1 2 3 4 5 tb also to the list with drive sizes getting what they are.

89.00 for a internal tb drive now in some places.

The poll was made as 1TB's were first coming out, nearly a year ago. And were still actually expensive.....

Im definitly much higher then my initial vote now, might be time to soon close this thread and open another one... <1TB, >1TB, >2TB, >3TB etc etc

Roughly 9,088 (1,887 GB) video files and 39,841 (187 GB) mp3s.

Plus one portable 500GB HDD that needs sorting.

Regards

2TB on disk (4x 1tb raid 5 now) and another 100 DVDs of avis, so like 400gb maybe there. Grows by about 120gb a month.

16 hours a day ( if i sit on my ass watching tv-eps all day) = 818 days ( no leave or weekends

so that means i have to sit 2.2 years to watch all this.....hmm. no thx



Edit:
23644 episodes current count....another 1.1k eps in 4 months to watch and stuph.

The point is:

Just in case we ever want to watch them... we can. Not sure if thats a valid reason for you, but it is for me.


4.1TB total media library.

True. I have indeed some shows I've just collected to "have them". Like MacGyver <3

Regarding the size of the medialibrary, I shouldn't talk too loud;

sheesh time flies. Year is past halfway already.

Ah well.I havent been to busy on my series , or mebe im just having all i "need"...
Increased by roughly a TB since the start of the year.

Series : 7.3 TB
Movies : 2.16 TB
Music : 243 GB ( heavily unsorted.... )
games : 847 GB(just have to start playing them soon..)

A good reason to ask for tvrename for mp3/movies

Wow, and I thought my collection was large at 19,800 episodes @ around 5tb and 7tb for movies.

I just broke over 1TB with some 2600 files.

I was just manually collecting and organizing this collection until a month or so ago. Now with TVRename I'm rounding out seasons and replacing old rips with new x.264 HD rips with so little effort it's almost frightening.

Definitely going to need to get some more storage.

Currently have 200+ gb on my hard rive but I've burnt maybe hundreds of DVDs before.
Before I modded the XBOX into becoming my home theatre centre I used to remove complete seasons to DVDs and just delete them from the HDD now its fun to have them all available at your fingertip.

I found most of the current running shows fit on a 2tb (if you leave out the civil enforcement and reality streams). Most of the older series fit on 4-2tb drives There are 6tb used for dramas series also so far I am using 1tb for documentaries. 1tb is documents and 4tb are misc. 1 tb is game and programing storage.

I am using for my storage computer one with 2 4-port sata cards to get 8 drives on an older machine that was ide. I run them all in non raid mode so they can be powered down. I have been setting the power down to about 6 hours so they are not going up and down a lot. This way if I don't use that drive for a week it can sit.

tv shows and series are taking up 16tb of the 25tb counting usb drives. Most of the shows If they are not around 640x 1200bps or less I will convert them to 640x360 xxfps 1280bps and cbr sound needed. These will play ok on a hdtv screen then across my lan. Some need other resolutions to look right. so far 30,000 episodes english show and may be close to 10,000 asian episodes.

I found that dual 100mb ethernet cards bound together work fast enough to do i1024 hdtv if you cannot get a 1gb ethernet card.

I was trying a file name like this so it could be listed to a .csf file and read in by a spreadsheet
but have small problem with asian name files and .csf import.
showname;showname year country languages() episodes,ss or hs

2.1Tb of media files (avis). 77 shows. 529 seasons. 10260 episodes.
