Nope it's only the SA V+ that are holding back the mpeg4 switchover.

Be interesting to see the numbers on how many there are out there.

Not 100% sure of its connectivity versus Cisco box used by VM but a nice solution for those recordings you may want to "tuck away" to look at at some stage in the future.

Up to 55% myself now as record HD for everything where possible now and would be interested in this solution myself for long term storage of programmes.
The problem here is recording things for "long term storage" isn't actually legal. The idea behind home recording is for the purposes of time shifting, not to keep copies of programs indefinitely.
There's a whole load of minefields that need to be navigated to allow people to export recordings from the stb to other storage.
