Last time i looked at upgrading the HDD WD Greens 2TB seem to be the one to use but for the life of me i can't find these on WD site to get a model number, in fact all i could find was 5 or 6TB versions, can anyone shed any light on the model number or do they even make 2TB ones anymore

The drive should be a AV drive rather than the standard green.
Rather hard to locate on WD's redone site.
Should be able to find them as either AV/GP or search for one of the model numbers WD10EURX.
Thanks i'm looking at the 2TB but i get your drift thanks for that model number.

You will need to fit a jumper (not supplied) on pins 5 and 6 to select a 1.5 Gb/s transfer speed.
See http://support.wdc.com/knowledgebase/answer.aspx?ID=981
The 2TB drive is WD20EURX.
To use a 2TB drive in a Foxsat-hdr the drive has to be formatted (EXT3) and partitioned externally. The Foxsat only has built in automatic install for drives up to 1TB. If using a 1TB after install and before recording, make the music/photo partition the minimum size to maximise space for recordings (elect to format both partitions).
Thanks Graham, I forgot about that.

Here was i thinking it was a simple swap 
Well formatted to ext3 in windows and loaded her up but seems i'm left with Initializing Partition info and doing some reading from your links it seems i need a linux boot disk which is coming down now but will take the best part of 3 hours so i'll update on Wed sometime.

Guys is there a certain Linux boot cd i should use?
I'm playing with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and making very slow progress, yes i can boot into the OS but it never sees the 2TB drive

You did note from the link above that you need to create and format 4 partitions on the disk?
