     But did you actually *do* it and *succeed*?   
      
     For example, I have two PVRs (one for analog TV, one for digital   
   (DVB-C)), which also have USB sockets, but they are only for playback   
   *from* a USB memory-stick, not to copy *to* it. The reason for this is,   
   as I wrote and quoted below, "Copy-protection, ...".

     Be glad. You got an extra character for free. Mostly my typos are   
   missing or incorrect characters.
