Can any one recommend a UK site where I can buy a replacement HDD for a HDR1100s. Old one is a Seagate Video 3.5 serial number ST500MV000
Thanks for the link. Going to order replacement.

Try Amazon
I am sorry but I have my doubts about the wisdom of using what is clearly a second hand drive with the SMART data wiped. I personally have wasted too much time with this type of drive. I would suggest getting a Seagate Skyhawk from a reputable seller.
If you look at the sidebar for other vendors the drive is described as new.
It is also an “Amazon’s Choice”. Why do you suspect that it is not?

The price, the fact that they have been our of production for several years, a general suspicion of sellers on Amazon Marketplace. Try reading this article if you think the Amazon Choice label is a recommendation of quality https://www.theguardian.com/money/2020/feb/06/amazon-choice-label-is-being-gamed-to-promote-poor-products#
I assumed that the sellers had bought of of production surplus stock. Unless the item arrives in origional selected anti-static protection I would send it back.

I would suggest looking at the date of manufacture which should be shown on the label on the hard drive.
New drive ordered and delivered using Repassac link.
Drive fitted,formatted and HDR1100 now recording programs.
Thanks for the link.

As a matter of interest, did you have a look at the date of manufacture shown on the label on the hard drive?
No I didn’t. Just installed it has I wanted to see if it worked.
Hi Martin Liddle, I note you suggest a Seagate Skyhawk as a replacement for the now defunct Seagate Pipeline range. Although Seagate have advised me that their Skyhawk ST1000VX005 is the replacement for my Pipeline ST1000VM002, today neither they nor Humax would confirm whether the Skyhawk will be a direct, plug-and-play replacement for the Pipeline in my DTR-T1000. Do you (or does anybody) have any experience of replacing a Pipeline with a Skyhawk in their PVR, please?

Several people have reported fitting Skyhawks to various Humax PVRs without any issues.
Many thanks for this, I’ve now found some of the posts from people who have successfully installed a Skyhawk, so I’ll bite the bullet and go for one.
