Can i use an usb hub with this player ( for use of several external hdd's )

No... It will only accept one connection probably...
I don't think it will but never tried...

Can someone actually test this?

I find it very strange that they are obviously running Linux, but can not support USB hubs.

Hi,

Powered USB hub is fine for multiple device as confirmed by our test (3 HDD and one thumb drive via a HUB).
None-powered USB could be tricky when connected to multiple HDD device as HiJack mentioned.

Thanks.

I can confirm that a powered USB Hub works to some extent with the iStar - however - when powering the iStar off/on I've found that it hangs/thinks about it for a few seconds and only shows device 1 (in my case a usb dvd drive) in the list - I have to unplug my passport hdd from the hub and plug it back in for the iStar to show both devices connected, not the end of the world but kinda buggin'.
