    I've seen tutorials on the web and it seems easy enough. Has anyone here done it and encountered any problems. If I put in a 250 gig drive, will I lose the 80 gigs that they keep for other services? Or is there anyway of getting to use this on the regular 160 gig box?

    thanks

    From reading the faqs on digitalspy and avforums I was gonna plump for the seagate baracuda 500gig drive
    (ST3500630A) but when I was checking prices and availability on MemoryC.com they have another model (ST3500630AV) which would seem more suited for a pvr:

    Key Features and Benefits
    16-MB cache
    Multiple data streams can be written at once, allowing you to link multiple cameras to the same drive
    Video read/write profiles allow greater control over operation
    Spin-down feature and PowerOn control allow for cooler operation and power savings
    5-year warranty
    Applications
    Digital video surveillance systems
    Digital video surveillance arrays

    Should I give it a try?
