The physical layer of an OTA HD signal supports up to
21 Mb/s. That translates to about 20 GB in two hours.

My MPEG captures of very detailed OTA HD TV programs (a
sports event, a live awards show) run about 4 GB every
40 minutes. That is 12 GB every 2 hours.

Which only proves how variable the definition of HD can
be.

Agreed.

Compress even more, and when the block sizes become
bigger than the scan lines, who is fooling who I wonder?

Obviously, things aren't going to get that extreme - if people are going to
have a product to sell.
