DSTV Explora HDD size

[Dolby]

What size HDD would the below have?

I haven't had DSTV so I'm unsure if they're like Playsyations with multiple HDD size. Online seems to indicate x amount hours recording.

The first was a 2TB, second and third are 1TB.

What is this?
1st?

 

[Lupus]

Think so. I've got one and the second one and they do look similar.

Thanks!

Jip that's the 1st model. 2&3 is smaller in size and the Model number on the front also indicates that it's 2 or 3.

Yup, that's the original. When I canned DSTV, I broke mine open for the HDD

That's what I'm thinking of doing.

I guess they use really shitty slow drives though?

Sorry, but, I honestly cannot even remember the brand.

No stress.

I'll probably be able to tell you soon

Normal Seagate Video 2 Tb. Mine broke, so I got a second hand Explora and swopped HDD.
Worked like a charm. Actually cheapest way to get 2 Tb hdd.

I really hope that everybody who burned there decoders took out the hard drives first .

Yeah, lots of people don't know about it. Then they end up giving away.

Took mine out of my HD PVR since I havent used it for a good 3 years or so. Bought an HD enclosure and then hooked up to my xbox. It was only a 500Gb but better than nothing.

So glad I found this threat here. Just yesterday a DStv technician told me they can give me a discount on a refurbished explorer because mine has a HDD problem. I have a 1TB unused HDD at home I’m going to swap them around or buy a used Explorer it’s probably cheaper than replacing this one.

You can't swap the hard drive.

 

[Mlu-Sean]

Eh? It cannot be done?

They've got DRM so the hard drive swap won't work.
