You have to realize that this is somewhat groundbreaking in the grand scheme of things. This is exactly what users have been begging for for ages. Of course the fee isn't warranted, but to have the option to do it, I'd bet quite a few people just overlook it in their excitement to add more storage.
If this trend catches on, it will prove more difficult to "charge" for the "feature."

I've been using an external eSata 750Gb drive with my
DirecTV HR20 HD DVR for months and there was no fee
when that Sata port was enabled.
I'm curious to know if both the internal drive on the
VIP 622 and an external drive can be used together.
With the HR20, it's one or the other.
