PVR Current version here. Good?

[vecjr]

I am looking for another STB w/PVR.
How is the currently release performing?
Are the PVR features working well?
USB drive powered or USB port power if it matters.

Thanks

I gather PVR is not being used on this by most then on this STB.

Works great for me on my cw800. The hard drive makes a difference don't use a cheap external case.

I may do the same. Is this PVR user friendly and all I would need is an external hard drive? Just looking for an opinion. I'm definately staying with Captiveworks since their support is absolutely outstanding.
:D

mine runs great, I use one with its own power...

I use a 250gb Iomega external hard drive formatted with NTFS and it works great. Iomega does not make their own hard drives. They put Hitachi/IBM made hard disks in their own enclosures. I really like their enclosure; it is well-machined and heavy duty. It has its own power source and runs very quiet.
2 1/2" hard drive are smaller and usually runs off the 5V power from the USB port. Generally they are slower and run at 5400rpm.
