Is bloody awesome.

 

I finally arrived in the 21st century and had it installed yesterday and cannot believe it took me so long to upgrade.

 

Easy to use, great playback quality and the box looks pretty nifty too.

 

It's got 80gb storage, so anyone know how much tv that can actually store?

The playback can deteriorate with time. Ours is absolutely fucked now. The Calzaghe fight from last night is literally unwatchable. We'll probably upgrade to the HD one in the next couple of months, which will be problem solved.

I didn't know it could deteriorate, i've had mine a few years now and i've not noticed any change at all, are you sure yours is not just broken Paul?

It's about 40 hours, though mine seems to have about 2 solid week's worth of Drake and Josh on it at any one time.

I got my HD installed last week and moved the old Sky+ box in the bedroom. The difference in picture quality is staggering.

 

Also found out on Thursday that I'd been paying 2 subscriptions for the past 6 months and when I phoned sky they had no idea why and thought it was hilarious. The cunts.

Why not just change the Hard Disk? Its really easy peasy and if your Sky+ box is a few years ols, ie before all that anytime shit you get to use the whole of the disk for your own use, not half like the newer units.

 

I've got a 160GB drive in mine which = 80 hours.

 

Cushty!!!

 

As for HD, they can shove it until they drop the £10 monthly charge!!!!
