#1 Has anyone cracked open their DMR-E95H DVR and checked out the Hard Drive type? Manufacturer? SATA/ATA/SCSI? RPM? Power Interface? Data Interface? ETC....
I'm still in warranty until October and haven't had the guts, it's been working great so far. I would like to throw a 400Gig harddrive in there if possible though.
It appears that the operating system is in Firmware since you can format the hard disk from the seup utility, so I can't imagine why an upgrade isn't possible. (other than panasonic blocking recognition of larger drives...
#2 Has anyone bought the DMR-E500HS yet (400G & ethernet)?
They're about $561 US via pricegrabber this week, and look like a lot of fun.
#3 I did the DMR-E95 firmware update via CD 5/16/05 with FW dated 1-27-05. All went well, was having issues with dropped recordings that I had scheduled. (TV Guide screen said it was recording in the upper left corner but the front display did not indicate recording, and it did not record)
Almost seems like TV Guide related bugs, maybe something changed from the original schedule that didn't match a later download....?
#4 Panasonic's toll free phone number says a new firmware will be pushed down (over the air) beginning May 27th 2005, (not sure if it's the revision I just updated or not...)
Thanks in advance for feedback everyone.....
