Hi Guys,
I have Vu Duo up and running on VIX 2.2.110 image but have yet to buy and install an internal SATA HDD as understand that this will allow me to Record, Pause, and Rewind live TV. I am looking for some help in relation to this and have some basic question below:
For arguments sake I'm considering buying the Samsung-1TB HDD HD103SI as listed in the section of this forum that lists the working HDDs that people have.
1. Does the choice of HDD I buy depend on the image, i.e. do I have to buy one that is listed as working with VIX2.2 image? What if I change the image to a different one in the future e.g. Black Hole image 1.6.5, could it be possible that the HDD will not work with this or maybe even another image?
2. If I do change images in the future, do I loose everything stored on the HDD? If so is there a work around to back up the content b4 changing image and the presumably I would have to reinstall the HDD again?
3. Also in a tutorial I read for installing a HDD, it pointed out that if you have already installed VIX firmware (I guess ‘firmware’ means the same thing as ‘image’) I will not be able to format the HDD and will have to install back to the Vu Duo’s original firmware then format it. Can anyone advise what and where I can get this original image that would allow me to install and format the HDD.
4. Any other suggested 1TB HDD from the one I am considering would also be welcome.
Thank you in advance for your help.
