This allows the device to store over 26,000 hours of TV, which is the equivalent of three years of non-stop viewing. Fancy yourself a seasoned TV marathoner? Drain the TiVo Mega's video capacity in one sitting and then we'll talk. The device can record content from live TV, on-demand services, streams and Web-based TV onto the [swappable hard disk drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wd-red-pro-g-drive) that form its array. The drives can store [26,000 hours of standard definition content](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kingston-dc3000me) and 4,000 hours -- around six months -- of HD video. Pricing for the TiVo Mega hasn't been finalized, but it is expected to retail for no less than $5,000 once it is released in early 2015. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Massive Storage Capacity:** The trend of expanding data storage capacity to meet the growing needs of storing large amounts of digital audio and visual content. - **Digital Video Recording:** The trend of creating innovative technology that enables users to record, store and access digital video content at their convenience. - **On-demand Video Services:** The trend of offering convenient, on-demand access to video content through online streaming services. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** Companies in this industry can continue to develop and market digital video recorders that offer increased storage capacity and functionalities to meet the growing needs of consumers. - **Entertainment Streaming Services:** Companies in this industry can leverage the trend of on-demand video services to expand their customer base and differentiate themselves with their content and features. - **Content Creation and Distribution:** Companies in this industry can capitalize on the trend of digital video recording and storage to develop new distribution channels and monetization strategies for their content. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hybrid Set-Top TV Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humax-aura-ez-4k-tv-recorder.md) - [Capacious Computer Memory Tapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memory-tape.md) - [Ultra High-Capacity Hard Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mosaic-3.md) - [Oversized Micro LED Televisions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tcl-x11h-max.md) - [Ultra High-Capacity Storage Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4tb-uhs.md) - [Hyper-Modern Audio Recorders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teenage-engineering-tp7.md) - [Tri-Color Laser Engine TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triple-laser-tv.md) - [Oversized Opulent TV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loewe-stellar-tv.md) - [Ultra-Small TV Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinycircuits-tinytv.md)
