DISH NETWORK AND DirecTV are working on that option for their DVRs. DISH NETWORK's option allows the use of a standard external USB drive, but it formats in a propietary format so it cannot be moved from one DVR to another. Thank you RIAA and MPAA for that wonderful option!
DISH NETWORK currently has a series of DISHPlayers that video can be downloaded through the USB port on the DVR to the DISHPlayer personal video player
