I just upgraded to HD DVR and requested the newest HD DVR and i now see i got an older model( Motorola Qip6416-2). I wanted the new Motorola 7216 which  I assume does all the 61416 does and has the ability to maybe upgrade the storage from the puny 160 GB drives.  Throw me a bone here ..maybe

thanks

The 71216 has inherently the same size hard disc (in Motorola speak the 16 is gigabytes divided by 10 or 160 Gb ).  Supposedly at some time in the future the E-SATA port on the 7216 is to be activated - no time frame or guarantees here.  So for now, there is no capacity difference.

Other than this, what are the differences between the 6416 and the 7216? Obviously there isn't an advantage when considering hard drive size, and most say a future upgrade allowing the use of external drives will be good for both. So what makes the difference between the 72 and the 64? More importantly what are the advantages of the 72?
