Interesting info from the DS forum. Posted by member mrmt32
In a later post he says its a DRX890 with firmware R005.053.70.15P if anyone wants to test it.In order to make testing ExPVR easier, I have an SATA -> eSATA cable running from inside my box which I connect to an external hard drive (which I can easily swap over to my PC).
Now, the other day I decided to try plugging the disk into the eSATA port on the back of the box (not really expecting it to work). To my surprise, after rebooting the box, all of the recordings appeared. I have tested all the various features and they all seem to work fine!
I have done some further tests and it seems that if you turn the box on with an external hard disk connected (by eSATA), it will override the internal one (so recordings will be read and stored on the external disk). Disconnecting the disk and restarting the box will make it use the internal disk again (and all the recordings will be as they were).
