Default Bell Reciever question.

I just got Bell EVU,

I got the $199 that you can plug an external HDD into to turn into a PVR.

Has anyone done this?

Is it easy?

One thing I wondered, if I Download HD stuff from my PC, could I move it onto the external HD and have my Bell HD box play it?

I hear it's pretty straight forward. Here's a couple of links to read so you know what HDs to use and info on your reciever.

for your last question, it may not be impossible but it won't be easy. Why not just connect your computer to your TV. That's usually pretty straight forward.

I'm going to go with no.

Or simply put, it may be possible, but if either you or I had the ability to do it, you wouldn't be asking the question.

Coles notes version of it- the Bell receiver formats the hard drive in it's own type of formatting.
