These days almost every manufacturer is doing that sort of thing. They are trying to get products on the shelves rapidly, and to do so, they are often times shipping early models with limited functionality, assuming they can do updates in the field. I imagine there is probably a firmware update available for your DVR that makes the USB port active. If not now, soon.
