DBSTalk posted an overview of a recent customer chat with Dish Network CEO Charlie Ergen. One cool nugget: USB Storage support may finally come to Dish's DVR:

• USB External Storage available late summer/fall
• USB Storage will have an activation charge but no monthly charge
• USB Storage will support "virtually" any USB drive

Maybe I'll have a reason to get one of those multi-drive Drobo USB/RAID devices… <evil grin>
