    So why do you suppose it’s 50 bucks cheaper for a Dish expander than a TiVo expander? Or is this a sign that the TiVo expander price will also be going down?

    I don’t know, I don’t think USB is that much of a savings over eSATA. I do hope it indicates pricing on the eSATA version will come down.
