    Hi folks, I know it is off topic but could anyone update me on the latest re: PVR update for the 4121? I have the standard box but considering either updating to pvr or buying a new pvr capable box. First, is there an easy way to upgrade the 4121 or am I best to buy new box? Thanks.

    thanks Osirus, ordered one today. Any simple suggestions of storage? I thought of just a 16gb USB but welcome suggestions about HDD's. I only need to record shows which I cannot see live so I don't really need large archive storage.

    Hi folks, well I ordered and received my PVR remote control and now of course I need the externally powered hard drive. Can anyone recommend one? It seems I may have been better advised to buy the twin tuner PVR because this may turn out to be more expensive than a new box. All ideas considered and thanks in advance.

    This is the UEC Supported Hard Drives for DSD4121,

    They were recommending only Hard drives with an External power Supply .....



    Could be hard to get a 1TB External powered Hard drive now .......

    I use the Seagate Expansion 2TB (USB 2.0) External powered ...... but only 1TB of it is used by the DSD 4121

    I think Larger hard drives can in theory be used ... but again only 1TB of it will be used by the DSD4121 STB


    You could now sell your DSD 4121 as PVR STB (if you have installed the PVR kit) .....

    Plenty of 1TB (and larger) external USB hard drives available from MSY Computers and of course, eBay, including Seagate and WD.

    All 3.5" type have external power supplies.
