Hmmm, I've suspected this. Every now and then my BTV Link machine would loose the ability to watch live TV and see all of the recorded shows. Usually closing Link and restarting it fixes the problem.

If NAS works the same way and looses connection and doesnt automatically reconnect, then I guess using NAS wouldnt be that good of a solution for recording shows. That's a bummer.

Then I go back to my orginal question. Is there some external storage box I could connect directly to my server to add more drives?
