Just reduce the frame rate slightly on each camera or the record quality and it will increase the data retention period.

ELEC DVR Model PRO-SE-HS2008A'The Following Channel Has No Files: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,7=8!' appears.

Hello Friend,
I am Nitin Khatri from India. 2 reason for this problem.
1. HDD Status OK but not showing recording due to Date changed to old year,month,day, please check camera date and search recording.
2. HDD Status fail, so you need to do following things:-
Your CCTV DVR HDD is not working or got stuck while recording footage, now you need to reset your HDD.
Note:- As you mentioned you replace Computer HDD into DVR, it means your have installed Normal HDD in CCTV DVR which is a bad idea, your CCTV technician should inform you that time when he installed that normal HDD in DVR. CCTV DVR HDD called Surveillance HDD which RPM rate is higher and can work well for recording footage buy a Western Digital Surveillance HDD and Install into your CCTV DVR for future safety.

I have a sentient cctv dvr from Maplin I can view it on my phone at home which is fine I wanted to know if I can view camera footage when I'm not at home etc. at work

Yes you can definitely view your CCTV footage on your mobile phone at your work via internet. Sentient CCTV DVR basically is a night vision camera. You must know the IP of the camera and IP Video server. Connecting your phone to CCTV camera via the protocol you can view the CCTV footage's in your phone. Night vision cameras are used for surveillance purpose. I would prefer cctv camera with ir illuminator for good image quality in the night time that will clear footage quality in my phone.
Recently many new applications have also being launched by security cameras with a view to solve problem you mentioned.

Just installed a sentient 250gb cctv dvr system, cannot get the dvr box to display on tv even with specific cable bought from maplins and hdd light is flashing...help

By default it goes to VGA port out of the DVR.
So you could hook up a pc monitor to it and use that. Once logged in you can change to tv out via the desktop menus.
It is also possible to hold down a button on the DVR (cannot remember which one sorry) at DVR power up to switch it to use tv out instead of vga.
