    Question piggybacking receivers

    ADVERTS 1
    I am wanting to upgrade to HD TV with BEV.
    I have a 5900 and a 4100 receiver.
    I have been told by our local BEV installer guy
    that I can piggyback my 4100 onto the new
    6141 receiver to turn it into a PVR.
    Problem is I don't think I see a hard drive
    in the 4100. If anyone can give me some insight
    on this? If I do need a propper hard drive,
    what is a recomended Gb size?
    Thanks
    Don M.

    Er, you can connect an external USB hard disk to either a 6141 or 6131 HD receiver, to make it a single tuner PVR. Perhaps he meant you can replace the 4100 with the 6141!?

    Yes, I think that must be what he was meaning.
