Swapping the hard drive in your IceBox

If you wish to clone your existing drive across to your new drive (to keep all of your existing recordings), you can find the instructions at Cloning an IceBox Hard Drive

To complete this process you will need:

  • An IceTV IceBox
  • The replacement hard drive with the IceTV software installed (if you have cloned your drive it will be on the drive already)
  • A Phillips head screwdriver

First unplug your IceBox and turn it upside down
