Replacement HDD, best one

[Black Hole]

I've decided to buy a new drive and install it. Having looked on here on how to run fix-disc I've come to the conclusion that I'm not sufficiently computer savvy to be able to do it. My PC is upstairs and I presume I'll have to obtain a dongle for my PVR in order to be able to connect it to my my PC via WiFi. My Samsung Smart TV is connected to the net via a LAN cable and TP Link. I thought that I would be able to put the file on a USB stick but it appears that that is no longer possible/recommended.

Thank you to everyone who has responded to my original post.

Do you not intend to connect your HDR to your network anyway then? Yes, the necessary custom firmware installation is by UPD (USB Pen Drive), but you would then need to drive it by network connection for disk analysis and repair. All you need for that is an Ethernet cable you can connect temporarily to your router.

Just to let you know that I've bought and installed a new HDD.

I bought a Seagate 1TB SATA6 3.5 HDD 5900RPM 64MB Pipeline from BT Shop for £52.73.

The deciding factor after price was the 3 Year Guarantee.

Simple to fit and all's well now ;-)
