Oh - I thought the power had to be in the backend.  I've been reading so much 
about this stuff recently, I must have gotten a few wires crossed.

Anyway, I was looking at 1TB to hold not only the TV recordings, but also my 
wife's music collection, and (the biggie) our DVD collection.  I was actually 
contemplating going with 5x400GB for a 2TB solution, but that's just getting 
silly :)

By the way, does the Air2pc card perform better (or more stable) than the 
pchdtv card?

Thanks!
