Okay, being of the Dreambox fold, I am seriusly considering changing to a Technomate 6900 Combo Super. Just a few questions:

Can you attach an external eSATA drive to record movies to? OR does it only work with External USB HDDs? Does it take an internal HDD?

Can USB drives be plugged in "live" or do I have to shut down and restart the box?

Is it possible to access the 6900 over my network? (I have the dreambox Dm7020 accessing my Server and able to view files/films from the dreambox HD on a PC and from a shared drive on PC/Server to the Dreambox)

What can I do over an Internal Network with the 6900? Not at this time internested in CS, just that with a dreambox I could install new images, update keys and choose programs to be recorded (from anywhere in the world. Would miss that if not available on Technomate

Does the PVR function allow me to select a program for a future date and the box will automtically record it?

Lots of other questions, but these are the main ones.

Thanks in advance
