| Motorola pvr 6416 III hooked up with Cogeco I am wondering is there any way to read units serial # and other details on the TV screen. |

|
| 1. Make sure tv is ON
2. Make sure power to box is OFF
3. Press select/ok on center of remote to bring up diagnostics |

| I have 2 Motorola pvr's and 1 has a bad hard drive and i have a couple questions:
a) can I take the hard drive out of one and install it in the other ?
b) after the transition and the pvr is hooked up to Cogeco and communicating with the transplanted hard drive. Will it show serial # of first unit or existing unit
Thanks |

| PVR drives are bonded to a specific unit. You can swap the drive, but it will be formatted when the new box boots up (so recordings would be lost) |
|
| can these hard drives be removed and used as an external hard drive for my computer ? |

| said by Luca :can these hard drives be removed and used as an external hard drive for my computer ?
No, the drives are encrypted and cannot be read outside the PVR |
