No current HD STB doesn't have USB recording feature.

>>Record upto two different programs while watching the third.

Suddenly a interesting point no DTH and MSOs are giving such facility and Hathway is fulfilling this though its easy to implement on MSO compare to DTH.

Existing HD STB does support USB recording, but it needs a software update to enable that.

it is difficult to implement in DTHs as there are technical difficulties.

And suddenly very difficult to a DTH which uses 3 Satellites to beam the signal

Yes, there is USB port but there is no way to record with the existing software/firmware.

Rs 8000 cost looks costly when compared to DTH DVRs......

 

[Gopichand Pai]

This price is on par with DTH HD DVRs. I think the price will come down in few months.

 

[Anish Pai]

As I had told in my post Digital Cable TV vs DTH a few weeks back that Digital Cable is advanced and better then DTH, is now once again proven.

Yeah Digital Cable TV Rocks.

I think Digital cable is easy to manage & has many upsides compared to DTH...only thing is to manage it professionally......
