My tape drive came.  Yes, it was a PowerVault 100T.  No, it was not the DAT72 - it was the DAT40.  My 36/72GB tapes are worthless and I had to get a 5-pack of Quantum 20/40GB tapes for $32 and change off of Amazon.  The drive does work (it took my cleaning tape, at least), was only a bit dusty and is in pretty good shape otherwise.  I saw refurb units just like this going for $300 on some sites.  I got it for about $35.  Now all I need to do is wait for my tapes to arrive.  I’ll probably see if we have any old ones at work, just to make sure the thing does work.

I got a request to put up my instructions for getting the guide listings working with the HDHomeRun.  They’re on the SiliconDust site, but they’re a little vague.  If I get time at work tomorrow, I’ll put up something a little easier to follow.  Stay tuned.
