Hi,
I will have to replace my satellite receiver so I'm looking at the above.
Its Linux based with an Ethernet port so it should be easy to back up the
hdd.
I've read the manual and it looks pretty good for the money. Has anyone had
any experience with this device? I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks, Walt

What am I missing?
It sounds like you're assuming that just because this appliance has a
Linux kernel and an Ethernet port, that they're going to expose
NFS/CIFS/SFTP/some other useful interface for transferring files?
I couldn't see it on their website as a touted feature. If they do
expose such things, then they're really missing the right marketing.

It can't hurt to e-mail he manufacturers and ask if this is possible.
I agree that you shouldn't really take it for granted that this can be
done as they could have some form of lock in place to prevent it.
Check first before shelling out those pounds I say :)

There is quite a large modding community for this device. It does seem to
be possible to do some advanced things with it. One being use of external
drives, then there's streaming the programmes over the network.
Always best to ask. You may get a better response from forums with users of
this device.
