It will change the way you view TV. The best feature is the user interface, ease of use and the recording of all live TV so you can stop whenever and never miss anything. The 80 hours is a little misleading since this is at the lowest quality, which you will not want. I use medium quality and this works fine for almost everything. At that level you get between 50-60 hours. not a problem since it's easy to delete old stuff. They did a great job with he interface.
