Your PVR receiver (PVR=Personal Video Recorder) is equipped with an integrated hard disk drive. There is no provision for this drive to be exchanged other than by an authorised TechniSat retailer/technician. Due to the availability of the hard drive, you no longer require an external storage medium (e.g. a video recorder). The recording capacity is dependent on the size of the hard drive and on the volume of data of the broadcast material.
