Add Hours Of Storage Space To Your Cable DVR Box

If you have a HD DVR from the cable company, then you might have figured out by now that recording HD programming takes up considerably more storage space then standard definition programming.

Sometimes you find out the hard way after a program you recorded previously has suddenly vanished from your list.

If your cable company uses the Scientific Atlanta 8300HD Cable Box there is a product available from Maxtor called the QVX Expander Plus -Quickview, which can be connected to the cable box and provide you with up to and additional 500GB of programming storage.

A 300GB Expander recorded with standard definition television can store approximately 200 hours of content. A high-definition television signal is roughly 8 to 10 times larger than standard definition. Therefore, if you record the same 300GB drive with high-definition content, you will get about 20-25 hours of recorded HD content.

This unit is actually a SATA hard drive that connects to the cable box with the included eSATA cable and comes with an AC power adapter. The connection is easy and it works with many companies/8300HD boxes, but not all. It depends primarily on which software is running on your cable box.
