[OT] Virtual USB or Sata drive over network possible?

["John Risby" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I've got a technomate 6900 hd satellite receiver/pvr which can record onto
usb memory sticks, usb drives or sata drives.

I was wondering if there was any usb or sata adapators that would convert
to
cat5 and allow the use of a server on the network to store the data? ie.
run
a service on a windows or linux server on the network with a "virtual
drive"
and then somehow connect the technomate to it using the usb or sata port
and
then save directly to the server? the technomate would still think it was
saving to a phyiscal usb or sata drive, but really it would be saving onto
a
connected network server. Possible?

Thanks
John

ps. any newcamd info welcome offlist. thanks.
