Adding hard drive to non DVR H20?

[Jonas007]

So I just got my H20 from directv, and it's the non-DVR one, since they told me they were back ordered.

So my question is, can I just pull this thing apart and add a hard drive to it?

It seems to have all of the buttons for recording on it, and inside there seems to be a crapload of space (probably for the hard drive). So can I just open it up, install a hard drive (I assume formatted a certain way), and go?

Has anyone tried this?

h 20 is not a recorder

dont take it apart the remote has the buttons to record not the h20... remote is universal so it will... if you take the h20 apart I think I read something that says if you take it apart it voids something...
