Embodiment Construction

[0061] Various aspects of the present invention provide a system, apparatus and method for storing data in a data storage device, so that one or more data processing devices communicatively connected with the data storage device can share, distribute and use the data. In a typical embodiment, the one or more data processing devices include one or more personal video recorders (Personal Video Recorders, PVRs). Each PVR is connected to a set-top box, which processes the data for display on a television or monitor. Each personal video recorder may include one or more data storage drives. The data storage drive is used to store video or multimedia data. The data storage device is communicatively connected to the one or more data processing devices such that data stored in the data storage device can be transmitted to or received by the data processing device. For example, the storage device is connected or attached to a network such that the one or more data processing devices c...
