    Rogers PVR 8300HD USB Port?

    It is for "future use". All they are good for is charging things. The hard drive to extend recording capacity connects to an eSATA port. Fat chance them letting you digitally copy content from the DVR.

    It really depends what you will be repairing, and to what degree. You might get by with a VOM, soldering tool, and a number of screwdrivers and pliers, and such. To get more advanced, you would need an oscilloscope, maybe an function generator, adjustable power supply, RF generator, specific...
