Hey Scott,
Any word if they will be either expanding the 3 external USB storage drive limit (I have 3 on a powered hub, but it won't recognize any more).
Also any word if they will be raising the 2TB limit on the external USB drives.
I started with 500GB and they have already filled fast. I had to play for a few days removing, doing a hardware clone of the old 500G drive to a new 2TB drive and then use Acronis Disk Director to expand the EXT3 partition from the 500G to 2TB. The good news is that once I put it back together, the receiver recognized the new with the more storage and I didn't lose any of the recorded shows.
The bad news is that it's a very specific multi-step process that take a real good working knowledge of EXT3, the right order to copy over the DVR Folders, set the permission and then use the partitioning tool to expand the partition to 2TB. Took me 3 days to get it all done, a couple tries didn't work right. I'm dreading doing it on my remaining 2 EXT's
Thanks
