Maybe a silly question...but...

...uh...first though...hello everyone...been coming to this site for a few weeks now and I just want to say thanks to everyone...I've learned a lot from you guys! I love my Coolsat!

Now for the silly question. Someone mentioned to me that it would be great if I could hook up a DVD player to the Coolsat...could I record the movies onto a hard drive? That way all the movies would be on the hard drive...not just what was recorded from the dish...but from DVD's as well?

Anyway...hope this isn't a stupid question and get flammed for it...it would just be nice to take a portable hard drive on trips with all my movies instead of tons of DVD's. Thanks in advance!
