You can utilize any external Hard Drive that meets the following requirements:
- 7200 RPM rotation speed
- Between 40 and 750GB of capacity
- Holds a single hard drive (enclosures holding 2 disks are not supported)
- Plugs into an AC power outlet
- USB 2.0 connection
- No sleep mode (cannot power down when idle)
May I suggest This one.
If you go for the 750GB Drive you'll be able to store 500 Hours of standard def video or 100 hours of HD.
Sadly, Bell receivers use a proprietary file format/OS that is incompatible with home computers, meaning you can't use the external drive to transfer Movies or TV shows to your computer. ![]()
For unequaled storage capacity though, the external Hard Drive is the way to go. Turning your receiver into a PVR is awesome. Highly recommended!
