    Hi I just bought a starview pvr box. Havn't received it yet but was just wondering do I need to buy a hard drive seperate and install it or does it come with a hard drive on it.I just want it to record one programme while watching another. Also what program and file do I need to get to update it when I get it?

    Easiest way would have been to ask the seller if it had a hard drive in it before paying. Its a bit late if you payed full price for a Starview PVR and got a Starview PVR without a Hard drive.
    Wait till you get it as it may not need upgraded software or a Drive.

    Hi
    Well the average price new on the popular auction site is around £159 without drive so you have done alright if is has no drive.You can have a look on the same site for a drive if it comes without one.
