Bell TV turns 6141 HD STB into HD PVR with firmware update
No, the latest firmware update for Bell TV's 6141 HD STB doesn't magically add a hard drive within, but it does open up the ability for said box to record content if one is attached via USB. The new software (v.165) enables a single USB 2.0 HDD up to 1TB in size to be attached, and once it's recognized, recording can begin immediately. For obvious reasons, we're told that the material can only be played back on the set-top-box on which it was recorded, but hey, at least you can push aside that impending HD DVR purchase indefinitely.
Bell Canada intros 6141 HD satellite receiver
Hey, you Canucks up there. If you've been scouting a totally new HD satellite receiver, today's your lucky day. Bell Canada is loosing its "next-generation" 6141 HD receiver on the market, and while not too many specifics are mentioned, we do know that it'll boast an HDMI output, access to interactive television (iTV) / Caller ID, an Ethernet port and a USB 2.0 connector "for future applications and hardware" (external storage, perhaps?). If all that's good enough for you, you can reportedly acquire one now for $299 or rent one for $10 per month.
