[Scott Greczkowski]

Take a look how you can turn a Dish 211 Receiver and turn it into a full DVR. From the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas!

"Later this year"

Wasn't this supposed to be "later last year"? Looks like it's working fine to me in the video. Bring it!

Hello all, I'm new to Satelite Guys. I have DishNetwork and a 50" HD TV that I purchased about 3 yrw ago. Last year I had to rent a 622 Receiver to get local channels in HD. It has a built in USB port that I just had enabled for an external hard drive. I have successfully copied some of my content from my PVR to the external drive. I would like to know if there is a program that can be run on a Windows computer to read the external drive. I can mount it on a linux computer, unfortunately the the USB drive is not recognized by Windows. I don't have any way to copy the contents to DVD in Linux that all runs on my Windows computer. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
