-hey, - I had a couple of Virgin Cable box video recorder (UK)HDDs - 500G & 1T , - was on the verge of binning them but checked out your video - and wow! it works - a few mins and both are formatted and operational - fantastic, many thanks for that. (I just regeret binning a 1T a few months back now! Cheers Henry Q, Dave.
I South Africa, the DSTV Explora 1 (2013-2016) was fitted with 2TB 3.5" drives. During the pandemic loads of people cancelled their subscription and there are now loads of them being sold on Marketplace for R400-500, like $20-25.
So I've been doing this for a while and I've just learned about something called "PUIS". In some pvr boxes (Bell Express VU, I'm from Canada eh!) the hard drives are locked and these hard drives are 1TB drives. I heard about videos that show how to unlock them using the original PVR box but I can't find the video. Do you know how this is done or where I might find these videos? I tried Ontrack btw and it doesn't work. FYI these are Seagate drives not Western Digital so it's not just a jumper bypass.
yes i have done this. what you do is use the pvr box you took hard drive from. with hard drive still connected to the pvr power on the pvr box then what you want to do is just take the small sata connection cord off the board of pvr box and plug it into the small sata on your desktop pc. that then allows you to make changes to the drive. you just first have to power it with the pvr. format the drive then you are good to remove drive power from pvr and put on pc
Having trouble playing movies from a "portable HD" that was formatted to the TV's DRV, in order to record. But now the "Portable HD " is not recognised by my Laptop... What can I do, to keep the content & watch ony laptop?
what i did to remove the external weird ass screw was rip the front face plate off, the rip the top part off...my mom says the one thing i've always better the best at was tearing shit apart!!!

Can I use my pc harddisk for my DVR, And if I can, which format should I format to NTSC or exFAT?
Try just fitting the hard drive to the DVR and then select Format HDD .. that works in the CCTV DVR boxes :)
