Hi all, |

I am looking at digital dvd/hard drive recorders for dvb, and I noticed |
| 4 |
that a lot of them are coming out with usb nowadays. However, all I can |
| 5 |
find out about the usb port is that it is for usb _devices_ like usb |
| 6 |
storage, not for an uplink to your PC. |

I came across USB gadget support a while ago [1], but from their web |
| 9 |
page it sounds like you need special hardware, not just any usb port: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
"Many Linux systems will not be able to use it, since they only have |
| 12 |
PC-style USB Host (master) hardware in a PC..." |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
can I plug my laptop in so these devices see it as just a large hard |
| 15 |
drive? I would rather not go through two steps - eg. dvd recorder to |
| 16 |
dvd to computer; or dvd recorder to usb hd, to computer. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Or alternatively, are there any recorders with a usb "uplink"? |
