Do any STB's (I guess that would mean DTC-100 + 169time right now) support storage to firewire hard drives?
There have been a lot of discussions here about hooking up the firewire capable VHS-D VCR's to an HD STB. But, it seems that a firewire hard drive could give a lot of the PVR advantages with a basic STB.
There are several of these drives available in fairly large sizes, like 120GB. They can be chained together for more capacity.
In Western Digital's press release for their firewire drives, they mention support for 5C/DTCP. So, it could work with the next generation STB's and their user restriction requirements.
