PVR / DVR

Cool, but I bet the damn thing still won't work in hardly any PVR / DVR boxes. (Not WD's fault, but bloody annoying none the less).

I'm trying to upgrade the storage on my FTA Satbox recorder and I'm now on the 4th different make & model of hard drive because none of the new ones are detected by the satbox. This seems to be quite a common problem (for DTT recorder boxes as well).
