Yes I'm on the right board,
I just ordered my gbsat receiver with a 20gb hard drive onboard (for multi satellite reception), it's currently the only one of it's kind on the market. The good bit is that it can record direct from the receiver to the onboard hard drive movies in mpeg2 and music coverting it to mp3 from radio stations etc...but the great bit I hope, is that it has a usb port for connecting to any pc which will see it's hard drive as a standard device to export and import these files to..
The only big question I have is, does any one know if the movie files are convertable to standard formats, apparently the extensions read ( .pvr) or something and I won't know until it arrives and is up and running..but the possibilties are huge if it can be used..;) :confused:
ps...I forgot to mention the cost £439..which is great value considering you get a top notch sat receiver and a digital recording device thrown in, a lot cheaper than the current pvr stand alones on the market at present..oh and it has dolby digital out to.
