PVR's

[ted leslie]

i have the HD PVR ............

i found a company in the states that will mod it so it can 
transfer out the movie on the fire-wire, regardless of the copyprotect setting.

I was thinking of removing the HD and seeing what partitions and filesystem it uses  ..
anyone tried that? I was thinking of putting a swappable drive drawer in , and 
putting in a 250GB drive.
