I have a new Motorola DCH3416 HD box with DVR. The box includes an eSATA and USB port on the back, and the Motorola instructions say these can be used for external storage. But Comcast says they do not support use of those ports.
Has anyone experimented with plugging an external drive into one or the other port? If they work, do they become added storage or do they duplicate the contents of the internal drive?
Do they need to be formatted in a particular way?
Any clever hackers out there?
Thanks.
