Im having SKY+ fitted tomorrow (only costing £50 after some moaning to SKY lol) but I want to upgrade the HDD that comes with it (I think the standard HDD is only 80GB)

Has anyone done this mod and if so what drive is the best one to go for (250GB / 500GB)

Dont have one. However, from what I understand it must be IDE (SATA not supported).

See Here, (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055250436) for more information.

Good find (and correction). So, in theory, he should be able to toss a 1TB drive in there? I did note that apparently a certain amount is reserved for Sky Anytime TV service?

Wonder if that would have any negative effect?
