Hello people!

I was so impressed with this model that I bought a second unit for the bedroom. I do, however have three major niggles that may or may not be solvable and wonder if anyone has any advice on here.

The first one is this… Is it possible to get a hardware mod or software hack to prevent the HD content encrypting when transferred to a USB?

The reason for this is that I recorded a film downstairs and after a hard day at work, decided that I would watch it upstairs with the kids in bed. Imagine my frustration when the USB stick was scrambled and useless!

I know there is a possibility that I could get the two machimes linked by usb dongle, but that then makes me ask – would the slave machine be automatically powered up by the master machine when reading recordings, or would I have to switch both machines on manually- sounds trivial, but at £270 per machine + wifi dongles, I’d like the lazy man’s privilage. If possible though I’d like to avoid putting them online as I already have 3 PS3’s- each serving me iplayer, netflix etc.

As a last thought, do you think, eventually when the novelty of HD wears off that the machine will allow the transfer of HD recordings as SD content is now? – I jolly well hope so.

Matt
