I just had a big scare today because I had a problem with my top box and thought I would have to replace it. The problem is that even though most of the shows (my son's) are in the external eSata drive, they wouldn't be accessible with a new DVR unit. Sometimes I wonder if I should go back to the days of VCR's where you could see the recorded programs in any TV.
My question is.......does anyone know if Verizon is planning or it it's even possible for these external eSata's to one day be like the VCR's, or independent of the top boxes it recorded from?
Thanks,
