Replacement Hard Drive for PVR

[Guest]

Hi. I live in Newmarket Ontario. My Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300HD, PVR died today.
I was told it needed the hard drive replaced. Where can I buy one to do it myself? Any ideas? Thanks.

It works like a regular cable box with DVR capabilities and features an 80, 160 or 320 GB PATA internal hard drive. Some versions can also be used with an external SATA hard drive through the eSATA connector on the back...Western Digital offers My DVR Expander, which is similar to their My Book series of external hard storage, but specifically tested to be compatible with the Explorer 8300 series of DVRs (8300, 8300 HD, 8300 MR, and 8300 HD-MR)

One external HDD and the vendor: Western Digital My DVR Expander 1TB eSATA External Hard Drive WDG1S10000VN.

If you're looking for an internal drive, try one of these Western Digital A/V drives.

^If you use the list from Hawkeye22, please make sure you choose an IDE/PATA for internal use - see the wikipedia article referenced above.
