There are already programs out there for copying video off a 501 and Dishplayer.
That being said we at DBSTalk.COM have been staying away from that kind of talk because the MPAA and NAB folks have been keeping an eye on this, we dont want a lawsuit so we have been not allowing talk about this topic on our board.
That being said the 721 is a different bird, from what I know the videos on the hard drive are encripted, to break the encription basicly means you hack the box completely. We are not a pirate site and do not support pirating of satellite signals so again these issues are not being discussed there.
I think soon you will need permission from the NAB and MPAA to go to the bathroom. The entertainment industry has gone nuts. I am sure you heard that one of the Senior VP's of AOL has called PVR owners theives because many are using their PVR to skip commercials.
Greetings, thanks for the article guys! It was great having everyone from Slashdot visit us at DBSTalk.COM today!
I am hoping the Internet Access on the 721 can be Slashdotted!
Before the 721 it was announced that when Internet access is available on the 721 that you will be able to use ANY broadband service you want.
However on the last tech chat it was announced that they changed their minds and that Internet access will be available only to those who subscribe to one of their partners DSL service.
I feel like I have been lied to and I am mad as hell about this, this is the reason I purchased a 721, if I just wanted a Dual Channel PVR I would have cenceled Dish Network and picked up a DirecTivo for $19 at Circuit City.
I invite all the code hacker to work on this and post their finding at DBSTalk.COM we have a large group of 721 users owners and hackers there.
Thanks!
The cost for the unit is $549 (High in my book but may be worth it once you can plug a broadband net connection into it)
It is shipping now. The review has a dealer from who they recieved theirs from who might be able to help you out.
The 721 offered a 30 second skip feature which can be used to skip commercials. No reason to hack the code for it.:)

DishPVR 721 Review
·
· Score: 1
As I am getting use to the 721 (I am the author of the review) I will get brave on of these days and plug one of my USB keyboards into the 721 to see what it does
As the author of the review, I do humbly appologize for my mistake. I knew the Devil was the FreeBSD mascot and I also knew that Tux is the Linux mascot. I was just under a rush to get everything done to make my deadline.:)
I played with the 721 for an entire day then I had to write a review, take screen shots capture video and edit it and everything had to be online by 3pm on Saturday.:)
I have since corrected the page and beg for forgivness.:)
