Would it be possible to buy a 9800 now(I assume they'll work in NA), flash it to the 9800HDD firmware, and add a drive? Hopefully the models that let you add a drive will come out soon, but until then, would this accomplish the same thing as the preconfiguration for an HDD?

If not, I might get a 786NA. I don't really care that much about Common Interface, but the PVR feature(and the ability to change the images :lol: ) would be nice to have. Common Interface wouldn't hurt though, maybe I'd find a use for it in the future.

BTW, Would it be possible to remove the drive from the receiver and convert the streams to mpeg2 video playable on a PC(maybe with the tools for the PCI DVB receivers)?

From the Fortec Star website, it looks like they provide great support. It's reassuring to see a quality site with firmware updates, editing software, etc.
