I thought that HDCP only came into play with HD DVD and Bluray, but I'm not sure about that.

As far as size, an hour-long uncompressed HD show can easily reach 9gb, so there may be some compression involved in the copying process.]]>Jan 10th 2007 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/gefen-shows-off-hd-pvrs-that-export-to-usb-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/gefen-shows-off-hd-pvrs-that-export-to-usb-drives/http://www.gefen.com/kvm/news/CES2007-6.jsp

"Each unit is equipped to support most standard USB storage devices and dongles. Users simply save their programming on the USB device, remove it when needed and plug it into any USB computer for instant access."

Clearly that implies that USB hard drives will be supported. Intriguing...

Not thrilled with a sneakernet solution, but this is a whole lot better than nothing and more promising than Tivo's decommitment to ethernet and TivoToGo.]]>Jan 10th 2007 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/gefen-shows-off-hd-pvrs-that-export-to-usb-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/gefen-shows-off-hd-pvrs-that-export-to-usb-drives/
Good MPEG4 (Xvid, h.264) can bring that number down again about 50%. Uncompressed HD can easily reach into the Terabytes.]]>Jan 10th 2007 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/gefen-shows-off-hd-pvrs-that-export-to-usb-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/gefen-shows-off-hd-pvrs-that-export-to-usb-drives/Jan 11th 2007 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/gefen-shows-off-hd-pvrs-that-export-to-usb-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/gefen-shows-off-hd-pvrs-that-export-to-usb-drives/Jan 10th 2007 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/gefen-shows-off-hd-pvrs-that-export-to-usb-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/gefen-shows-off-hd-pvrs-that-export-to-usb-drives/Jan 12th 2007 12:10PM
