I've read some of the old posts about this topic but it seems no one, including Cox (Phoenix, AZ), is willing or able to give me a straight answer. I have the referenced DVR and want more storage space. I am running Passport ECHO version 3.1.085 and PowerTV version 6.14.98.1sp. Cox tells me that I should be able to use eSATA but they won't recommend any particular brand and they won't give tech support. I'm not into building an external hard drive. What I want to do is go to Best Buy, buy a 1TB external drive, and hook it up. So, what I want to know is what are my chances of this working? If there's a good chance that it will work is there any particular brand I should get and any specs that I should look for? My other alternative is to swap my current box for an updated version with more storage but then I will lose any currently recorded programs. Any help is appreciated.
