There are several advantages to external hard drives for PVR:
* Drives generate a lot of heat -- don't need that in the STB
* Failed drive is trivial to replace
* You get to choose a size that suits your anticipated usage
* Much,
much easier to transfer files to computer for conversion / recording
* If you don't need huge storage, you can use a USB stick instead -- even 32 Gb ones are affordable now (and much faster than HDD)
Good viewing!
