    You could use G4U, that would do it.

    Admittedly without the PVR guide data (which is what we pay 5 bucks a month for) it can't go back to the beginning of the program exactly but (in my mind) the best way (from a design point of view) to do this is to make it so you can rewind to the front of the buffer then hit save. (Or even just...

    Pansat 6000

    You got me excited for a minute with that 1 hour buffer... But if you can't save that hour it is not nearly as useful. :mad: Ya gotta wonder what the enginerers were thinking on that one. But I'm glad the USB cord worked out ok... Now you just have to figure out what to do with the data now...

    Naw- Just open the case to upgrade like you do every other device with a hard drive in it. The only reason to put it in a tray and build it a door is it they mean for you to take it out often. (like to hook it to a PC) Ice, I think you are missing part of the equation. If you are running any...

    At least it looks like I was right about the 2 USB plugs being for power. :) EDIT: Didn't I see a picture of someone removing it from the receiver and hooking it up to the computer? Was that in one of the links on another 6000 thread? EDIT 2: HA! Ice, check out the bottom right picture...

    Yikes! That's not just ugly... It's real ugly. Why you would leave the drive in the receiver is beyond me.... Why put it in a removable tray if you don't remove it to attach it to the PC? (Call me cautious but...) I'd be reluctant to plug it into the PC and the receiver at the same...

    Live a little Iceberg.... The worst you could do is blow a 60Gb Hard Drive! ;-) Naw- That was my point... (assuming it is detatched from the receiver) Plugging both it would be safe. -- I wouldn't plug them if the 5V from the unit was still attached (assuming you can) until I check the manual...

    Or (in thinking about it) there is a simple and more importantly, safe way to test this. Take the drive out the unit and plug in 1 USB plug. If it works OK. If it does not work, plug both USB plugs in and see if it works. My money is on you needing both.

    Maybe this will help... The USB Spec is 5 volts at 500mA. - Sorta. 1 "unit of load" in USB speak, is 100mA. All devices must start at 100mA and then ASK for more power. From there they can get up to 500mA. (That's why some devices must be in a powered hub. A powered hub can give up to...

    FYI They make little adapters to put notebook HDs in desktops. If you can just plug the drive into a desktop or external case it would rock.. you could have multiple drives for starters. When I need the adapters I order them off ebay for about 5 bucks. You answered all the buffer questions...

    The ability to cut commercials might just make up for the rest of the quirks. ;-) Most everything you describe as being quirky are software (firmware) issues. Assuming Panset updates things they might achive PVR perfection. One question that you sorta covered but sorta didn't... On my...
