I have a MOXI "box" from Charter cable that tunes my HDTV and
records. With the hi def programs I get about 8 hours max. I set up
a 320 Gb external hard drive and plugged it into one of the two USB
ports in the back of the unit. Nothing was recognized that I could
tell. There are also two USB ports on the front which are are used
for putting images in memory, but those don't worth either.

Any ideas on how I can get the external hard drive recognized by the
MOXI DVR?

The USB ports are reserved for the new HD units coming out later this
year. In the standard def units, they aren't even connected to
anything.

The cable companies will be updating the the guts standard def units
customers exchange for HD units.

Whoops. I misspoke. Obviously the USB ports are connected, but the FW
doesn't support external hard drives.

An additional note. Charter is slowly rolling out version 4.1 of the
Moxie FW, which supports a single external HD via one of the back USB
ports.
