From what I've read, the maximum-advertised hours for each box is based on
the assumption that the user will be recording at lowest possible quality

Correct. For the four quality settings, the divisors are close
to 1, 1.5, 2, and 3.

Approximately:
180 hours at Basic, 120 hours at Medium, 90 hours at High, 60 hours at Best.

You get 11 hours at Best on a 40GB Tivo (not DirecTivo). I'd get the
80GB dual tuner and replace the hard drive.
