Blown fuse on MDR515H/F7 Need replacement

I was able to temporary steal a fuse from one of my other Philips DVRs to replace it and it seems to work OK, but I still need a replacement fuse. The one that blew is marked as 2A-250V. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? Is it a "fast acting" or "slow-blow" type?

TIA

I've learned that the fuse is a 2A-250V fast acting type. So I've ordered the wrong type, based on wajo's comment in the main section that the fuse was slow blow, and need to order the correct ones.

Which I just found on Amazon: Set of 5 GMA 2A 250v Fast Blow Fuses 5x20mm, F2A, 2 amp.

And they cost all of $0.10! With $5 for shipping.

Hope this all helps the next person who blows a fuse. BTW, I believe the fuses on all of the Philips/Magnavox DVRs are of this type. But not certain.
