    Just follow the link above. It's a piece of cake. The power supply is different from the illustration, it has a molex plug to fit the HDD & fits inside the casing where you can join the power input to the Dbox one so as you only need one mains plug.

    You can cut & paste the webpages from the german site into babelfish
    http://babelfish.altavista.com/
    and translate. They appear in pidgen english but should be some help, they have photos along with them and screen shots for the various dboxes.

    I am still not so sure it could take any HDD. Most motherboards have an upper limit, thought they usually take a large HDD but you cannot use all the space.

    Fitted it and tried Commando 7.5, my play back stutters on some channels probably due to some setting or other. Don't know why I bought it as I have 3 PVR's at home including a V+ box, I think I had too much beers one Friday night and thought why the hell not lol. Anyway It's going on ebay as I don't really need it.

    Got it working flawlessly with these settings thanks to pt-1 @ WOD.
    Example for Nokia:

    ucode_0014
    avia600vb022
    Ringbuffer=70
    SPTS=ON (On whilst recording, otherwise off)
    sectionsd=OFF (Stop whilst recording)
    o_sync=ON
    fdatasync=OFF
    HW-Sections=OFF
    AVIA Watchdog=OFF
    eNX Watchdog=OFF
    PMT Update=OFF
    HDD Cache=ON

    OK, I have decided to sell the IDE interface as I have 2 Freeview PVR's and a TV Drive/V+ box & thought I'd like to see how easy it was to fit one of these. It is surplus to requirements so anyone who wants to buy it can PM me. It cost me 78 Euro and just want to cover my costs (or as close as possible)I will choose someone from the interested parties @ 9pm tonight.

    If you have problems installing this then you can see exactly how fekker got it going over at http://techno-source.co.uk/phpbb , where he has posted a guide on how he did so.
