Sidebar: The ’16’ in VIP12 16 means 160 GB hard drive. Unless otherwise specified, I will be referring to actual gigabytes whenever that word is referenced. So your 160 GB Seagate is actually 160,000,000,000 bytes = 149 actual gigabytes. Sidebar: The ‘gigabyte’ used by hard drive manufacturers is usually defined as 1,000,000,000 bytes. The HD uses standard partitioning and file system protocols, but it only appears to understand MBR partitions, and FAT16 and FAT32 file systems.

The DB35.2 series was designed to be cool and quiet for home theater applications, but was mostly sold directly to OEMs and is difficult and expensive to purchase for your average consumer. The included hard drive is a 160 GB Seagate DB35.2 with IDE interface, part number ST3160212ACE. The VIP1216 is manufactured by Motorola and runs the WinCE operating system. You only need to read this if you are doing the more complicated procedure. This section is going to be geeky and you can skip over this if you just want to get on with upgrading your box. Also, I understand that the hard drive size is sent upstream back to Bell, so they know if you have been tampering. Obviously don’t try this with a rented box because they may bill you for it if you brick it.

When the service got switched over to FibeTV, Bell gifted all the cable boxes to me, so I own them, and I’m fully privileged to open them up and muck about. I’ve been an early subscriber to Bell’s IPTV service so early that it was under the Bell Entertainment Service umbrella before it got moved to FibeTV. Any luck with this procedure on the VIP2262? Say so in the comments. However, the VIP1232 is similar enough that the same procedure will likely work.
