    The USB port can be used for personal video recording services, which will be introduced shortly via a firmware update.

    Yes, but currently it is disabled. Infact all sorts of PVR functions are disabled and i doubt whether any DTH provider is giving away the same right now. Big TV has confirmed that they will be shortly introducing PVR functionality through a remote firmware update.

    PVR = Personal Video Recorder.

    It is a device that will let you record programs while watching any other channel (even the same channel). In USA, they call it TiVo.
