Anyone know if there is a similar system either currently available or on the horizon with either USB 3 or Gigabit ethernet, or both? I haven't quite killed off dvb-t recorded TV yet in my house. I need a decent sized iSCSI volume mounted on the box to record to at the same time as using a HDHomerun. 100Mb/s isn't going to cut it. A USB 3 Gigabit ethernet adaptor would also be an option for me.

Has anyone received their order yet? Any comments?

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Mine was supposed to ship 21st, hasn't even started processing, apparently quite a backlog of orders with no stock.

No, but is there any reason you wouldn't just do it yourself?

Because someone else may have already asked and they will probably be slow to answer.

Conversely you could ask and save someone else some time ;-)
