Any large HDD will work as long as it has its own power supply.

yes as long as it has its own power supply, and it will have to be formatted to FAT32 and not ntfs, which i would say your HDD is so it will have to be converted.

I use an IBM 100GB external USB hard drive on my Starview HD combo. It's power is supplied by the starview USB port; no external power needed, so you may want to double check that your SV7 does the same.

Try eBuyer, they're usually very cheap, external hard drives can be found here
