Anyone use maxter at all recently? I hated them in the past (way back) and haven't looked back but I'm considering that 300Gig unit from costco.

^I'm going to get that one as it can also act as a print server.

Bell or Rogers? PVRExplorer works with the dishnet/Bell PVRs.

I am not sure about other products... but i can share my experience of the POS D-link DNS-120 ...
it's advertised as a Network Storage Adaptor which connects up to two external USB 2.0 harddrives to your network.

What i found out after installing was that it has a basic web interface (probably run on linux) to work with drives and thus doesn't support NTFS... drives will have to be formated as FAT or FAT32 and streaming is sloooow...
