Am looking at getting a HDD so I can use the box as a PVR, but not sure what size I need.

Also, has anyone had trouble with particular models of HDD?

Thanks!

I have a 160gig hard drive for my T1020. Its only that big as its what I had lying around. I just put it in on of those external case's and it works fine. Holds hours and hours of stuff. I have around 13 hours of programing recorded on it at the moment and it says its 27% full so ruffly can hold another 35 hours or so. hope this helps
