scientific atlanta explorer 8000 hard drive

First question...Can you change the hard drive inside explorer 8000? I know in xpress vu you can, so i guess you can too in illico...

Second: Is there anyway to use the usb or firewire ports to transfer data in both direction to a pc???

Thnaks...

For the hard drive, Videotron engineers are testing 3 models that could be sold to clients that need one. If I remember its from Maxtor, Seagate and WD. Witch one will it be I don't know and even less when.

I did it and it was working excep i couldnt record anything becaus i didnt have enough space to work with. I used a 10G HD that was laying around just to try it. The drive has to be new or low level formated.

And be shure that your PVR is out of warranty if you do this.

Only cause i had it on hand and wanted to see if the machine would even work with it into it. My warranty was almost done so i didnt care. I had to snap out the pin in the middle of each screw to be able to use a torx screwdriver. First time i booted with it i forgot to put the jumper on master and the machine booted but i couldnt reven see the list. Later that day i realized that and reopened the box and tried it again and it worked.
