Im curious... just for kicks I wonder what a DVR would see if it were hooked up to a hub instead of to a drive. And then 4 drives were hooked up to the hub. Im sure it would complain somehow. But it would make things interesting.
The new MPEG4 encoding process sure extends the internal storage capacity of the 622. I recorded 54 minutes of a StarZ HD movie tonight and the 622 storage timer reduced the remaining minutes by only 18.
I can't help but think how VOOM DBS has planned to convert their HD channels to MPEG-4 in late 2005, and their SD channels in 2006.At one time they were talking about doing the conversion of all HD in 2007.
I guess that's another item delayed.
I wonder what happend to all the 622/211s that failed due to the the HDMI problem. There may very well be an entire warehouse full of reconditioned 622/211s.Oh joy. But if they were to discontinue all HD in one swoop, they'd need to have plenty of boxes ready to ship. Of course, your idea makes sense- spread out the conversion and the costs.

Tell me that - back to days when we can't use NEWEST 40 MB disks because of one partition limitation and 32 MB total size in MD DOS 2 or 3.
