I just upgraded my PVR8000T from 40GB to 120GB which will probably give around 60 hours of storage. It is working as before but with 3 times the storage, the new drive is very quiet.
How to do it:
1. Get a 120GB IDE HDD. I got a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 with an 8MB cache from Scan (www.scan.co.uk) for £66.
2. Unplug the PVR8000T from the mains and whip off the case cover.
3. Disconnect the power cable and the data cable from the old drive.
4. Make sure that the new drive has the jumper set for 'cable select' - a diagram on the drive shows the correct driver position.
5. Unscrew the HDD mount from the case (3 screws) and the HDD from the mount, replace with the new drive.
6. Plug the cables into the new drive.
7. Put the cover on and plug in.
8. Turn on and wait a few minutes.
