coldav said:Thanks Jed. Bought off Ebay for £65 + pp. Took it to Maplin in Poole and they persevered with a few Hard Discs. They had no luck initially, tried their Tech Support, who told them to try a Samsung HD. The shop only had one, which was 500Gb, and it works perfectly. Very impressed!
One niggle remains withFirewire. I'm on Vista, can get "1394 PVR ..." to display in "Device Manager", but it does not appear in "My Computer".
For the price though, it is absolutely excellent. Thanx for details of the Ebay Seller. Much appreciated.
Hi, I'm glad you got sorted out did you buy your receiver from the ebay link I placed in the earlier post, it's good that you managed to get Maplin to find a 500Gb drive to operate in the receiver as the receiver's maximum drive specification is supposed to be 200Gb according to my manual, it would be useful if you could post the model number of the drive on the forum as it will help any users if they intend to install a larger drive in a receiver.
Jed.
