Ugh, how come only 12 hours, when cable company DVRs also with a 160G HD can hold about 20?

No provision for an external drive? That's a BIG deal breaker for many folks.

What about replacing the internal drive? If one CAN, that obviates needing an external drive (1T bare drives are running close top 100 bucks these days).

This is an example of when higher bit rate is bad. The higher the bit rate of a show the more bandwidth it takes up. Of course different programming uses different amount of space so you could still get 20 hours of HD on it.
