Good news on the enabling fee and our ability to use our own drives. Charlie pleeeeaaaase make it soon. Gotta 1T just waiting.
For streaming, I think USB 1.1 might be sufficient. If you were copying a show or movie from one to the other, yes, then it would be painfully slow.
No. He is talking about just purchasing a regular internal hard drive and then putting an enclosure kit on it as opposed to paying too much for an "external" drive.
Charlie said the 1TB models currently weren't compatible but they would issue a software fix at some point.
Questions I'd like asked:
1) Is the "mid-year" release date mentioned in the news conference for the new 22-1 receiver - i.e. any chance for a software release sometime soon that would enable external storage?
2) Any chance we can stream from one receiver to another with the Ethernet connection?

1) ?!?
2) I read somewhere (don't recall) that you should be able to between the VIP series receivers.
Correct, it is about 80 bucks cheaper last I checked and you can always "swap" drives out of the enclosure.
Great example of why your own enclosure is nice.

An oldie but goodie regarding programming........WHEN will the HD RSN's be available ?? 
:
"Soon" is not an acceptable response.

I was asking if there might be two phases of this external storage rollout. Maybe a software release for existing 622s could precede the hardware release of the new 22-1's.
Yes. It would be nice if they rolled it out in Feb, then the s/w update & 1TB fix in mid year. Get it on the street!
If you'll read up a few posts, the VIP622 is NOT working with the 1TB drive at this time.
"The CinemaStar version of Hitachi's 1TB drive, which is slated to be released sometime in the second quarter of 2007, will have optimized capabilities for DVR recording applications, such as adaptive error recovery and "bedroom quiet" acoustics. All that extra space should be more than enough to deal with high-definition (HD) programming; 1TB can hold about 250 hours of HD video, which beats most of today's TiVos."
I'll take one these please
