Introduction
Guide on how to replace the hard disk in a Technisat HD-S2. You can also replace it with a bigger sized HDD then the original disk. It is unknown if there is an upper limit for the hard drive. In this case, a 160GB disk has been replaced with a 1TB disk. This guide can also help with similar models of Technisat.

A new hard disk (or also the existing one) can be formatted using a normal computer with the exFAT (not NTFS). Caution: all data will be lost! Now you can put in the disk again and re-assemble the device.
-
Within the menu of the device, you have to again format the disk to be properly recognized and usable.
-
There were cases, where the receiver had issues with the hard drive. After formatting the drive with a computer, it worked again properly within the Technisat device, so it is not always needed to replace the hard drive with a new one!
-
To reassemble your device follow the steps in reverse order.
