Sorry to reply in a different thread, but I don't want to break Mark's rules...
One thing that did catch my attention is that for the first time I can recall is that they admitted working on a content protected way to do hard drive expansion on the DVR. In the past they just stated it could not be done, That hasn't changed but at least now we know somewhere in their advanced R&D group someone is working on a way to do this.
I seem to remember it being mentioned that the USB port on the 921 is 1.0. That'll never handle an external hard drive, and since the firewire ports are now covered.... Maybe we'll see expandable space on the 942, but they've been taunting us with an expansion port since the 501.
I liked how they initially referred to as favorites support for OTA as a new feature.
Anyone remember what was mentioned for each new software version?
L187, Wednesday. Missed Timer and OTA Fixes.
Later August Release?
September Release - OTA guide data.
Named based recording -> way out there. Sounds like the flagship box will be the last to get it. Interesting that they hinted at one of the first to get NBR would be an "upcoming" HD receiver.
