Jay, we have had people indicating that either of these will work.

I just bought a Bell HD Satellite Receiver (6131) it has the USB plug in at the back and they say this also can be made a PVR. Therefore I just wanted to know would any of the following HDD work or not,

1TB Expansion Desktop external hard drive $99.99
or
1TB XL1000 Hitachi external hard drive (Automatic Backup) $99.99

Thanks in advance
Jay

Jordan, I haven’t received any responses yet, but I have tried several myself – many were simply purchased at Wal-Mart, Staples, Best Buy and Futureshop. Plus, I’ve built several myself. Anything that has its own power source and does not have the “power off” mode during inactivity works fine. Wal-Mart offers a cheap one by Retail Plus that’s a 3.5″ drive in a generic enclosure – $69 for 500 GB, works like a charm.

Hello,

I was wondering based on the feedback you might have received, which EHD you would recommend for the Bell 6141?

Thanks,
