i did search for your record but seems hard to find...why dont make it a sticky here updated for both providers i think it would help a lot of people

It's actually in the Workman PVR package which should be REQUIRED reading before attempting to mod your PVR/DVR 501-508-510 receiver.

Every time a new firmware comes out, the provider adds new and even more difficult drives to locate.

Where can we buy any of these HD, when I do a search on the actual web site they all seem to have a character or two at the end of the model number, missing and that won't work, plus the one's with the name and model
number for example "SAMSUNG SP1644N", does the name and model number have to appear on the HD or just the model number "SP1644N", for it to work.
I found this one on the Samsung web site, this one appeared with to stars
at the end of the list, what does that mean.

The reason I'am asking all these questions is because since Bev streamed
SW E661 my TSOP will see a coruption and delete the edited version
even when I use the version I created using IRDr.exe, since I upgraded with
a non mentioned HD, what could be causing this?

Interesting post but I have posted no such list! Those 160g drives may be in P4xx fw but a virgin would have to be made to marry it since no virgins I have list it!

[skinerd]

I have read the 160s can be LBA'ed down to 120 and will work, not certain how they would marry, but maybe if you had a read from a similiar model you could clone it.
