Pansat 9200 eSATA Mod

[Lynskyn]

Apparently the eSATA PVR capability for the Pansat 9200 is coming soon because Pansat has posted a hardware modification document that applies to certain earlier production models.

If the 9200 gets eSATA working, that will be my first HD receiver.

I'll check my 9200 to see if it needs the mod. I hate to risk damaging the circuit board. That outweighs the PVR capability. I refuse to spend $200 for the mod or the S2 board. I like it for what it is already, a great receiver.

I want a stand alone PVR that can record from 4DTV also. I think I still want to build my own even though the 9200 is tempting.
