I've been doing some reading on this. I read on digitialhome.ca that the
FS is encrypted and that the data is only visible on _that PVR_ let alone
a Linux box. Apparently the filesystem may be proprietory anyway.

Good question. It all depends on whether the hardware/firmware/etc can
detect a HDD of that capacity, just like on a regular box. Since they are
SATA I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try one if you had one available. I'm
going to try adding at least 1TB externally.
As an aside the thread below indicates that non-Rogers Set Top Boxes
can't/won't be enabled on their network:
