I cut the cable a few months ago and that has worked out well. PrismTV from CenturyLink was pricey and I hardly used it. They told me I don't need to return the box, but it has this little hard drive inside: https://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-2-5-inch-laptop-5400rpm-MQ01ABD050V/dp/B0100ZM5QG It was pretty easy to access it -- a door on the back says "HDD" on it and it just takes a little hex screwdriver to open it (and then pry it off with a knife). I'm going to add it to one of my linux boxes to see what it has on it. It should have a bunch of TV shows, but I assume they are encrypted somehow. Have any of you played around with one of these drives? I wonder if there is anything recoverable and of interest. Also, I wonder what filesystem they use and how big the files are. I'll let you know what I find out. Mike
