    I bought a satellite box that has PVR capability. The manual states that the HDD drive requires FAT32 capability. Does anyone have recommendations on a good HDD that is pre-formatted as FAT32. Looking at the web it doesn't seem to be too easy to format a HDD as FAT32 myself.

    Yeah, it's easy, IIRC Swissknife is a good free program to do it for you.

    Do a search for HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool and you can format a disk in no time.

    Do most STBs not have a format facility built in?
