The advantage for you is that you can delete and re-write as much as you like. The 80GB Hard Disk means that you can record as much as 120 Hours of television and the 200GB Hard Disk means that you can record as much as 300 Hours of television, depending on the chosen recording quality. Recording can be scheduled if you know the time of the program you want to record, and for quick recordings, you can just press one button on the remote to start it.
