Others might have some more knowledgable input...but here's my $0.02. Usually, multiple drive enclosures provide some sort of RAID...I don't see anything mentioned on the product page. If you have 2 * 500GB drives, do you get a total of 1GB storage? The RAID # will tell you this. I'm also...

I recorded the Haunted "Pilot" episode on HDN at 3am this morning. When I have the Info "page" open for that recording, and I select the Episodes menu, the show "blurb" is actually for the episode of Dan Rather Reports (also on HDN, and also something I recorded). The heading for the info page...

Or Cutty Dark.

From a few posts I've seen over at DBSTalk.com, port multiplier enclosures are not the way to go. Apparently, the HR20 will only see the first drive.

I'm certainly sorry to hear about your problems with the upgrade. It wasn't until I read some of the threads on DBSTalk that I realized how many problems some people had experienced. So far, most of the issues I've encountered have been relatively minor. We were using the DVR last night, so I...

Our Series Link for Numb3rs HD didn't record last night at 9pm Central. The History list shows "Cancelled", and the details say: "This episode was partially recorded because of an unexpected error. (3)" It did not keep whatever it did record, as there's nothing in the playlist. What does...

Thanks. I guess that's why the "bleeding edge" can be the result of living on the "cutting edge". I'll just try and be patient. :( I assume I already have the Engineering Charge on my bill as I've already activated the networking on the DVR...which it sounds like people should have done prior...

My mistake. In my eagerness I missed the fact that this thread was for H20-100 and not HR20-100. Bummer about the VOD. What was the backlash that occured with it's rollout for -700? The messages I've seen didn't seem to characterize it as being that poorly implemented...just lacking a bit on...

No mention of VOD... So we (HR20-100 users) don't get VOD with this update? I've already got the Engineering Charge entry on my online bill...

It's nice that you can start watching a show before the download completes, but how does it handle the situation where you catch-up with the downloading process. Even if you've got a great connection, the servers themselves might have limitations. Does it pause, and indicate that it's waiting...

If they use a BitTorrent type protocol for the downloading then, the more users there are the more likely other people are downloading the same content...then the faster the download would be for those people. Plus, people who have downloaded the content, would be seeds for newer downloaders...

Any idea when VOD will be made available to HR20-100 users?...I'm chomping at the bit to try it...

Satel Lite. OK, so it's "dark." So sue me. :p Useful tag lines: It's dark, but you'll be Lite headed. "Bring me a beer, make it a Porter...I've got too much baggage..."

A simple reboot (I should have thought of trying this earlier) seems to have taken care of the 2nd Tuner issue. I now see: Under Setup/Info & Test/System Info: Features/Tuner: Tuner 1: SAT, Record Tuner 2: SAT, Record Off-Air Tuner 1: ATSC, Record Off-Air Tuner 2: ATSC, Record Whew...
