for info on Sky+. Apparently, the only differences between the original and the 160, is the hard drive and the addition of two - as yet - unsupported USB ports. My Sky+ box has just been installed an hour or so ago, and initial impressions are that it's bloody marvellous. Just need a new drive to go in it now...they'll take upto 250gig I believe.

How big is the drive in the standard Sky+ box?

i was going to upgrade the original to 250gig, but that would have invalidated the one year warranty, so decided to go for the 160 gig which will be enough for my needs for now till i upgrade it next year.

i'm assuming that as sky160 has 4x the recording capacity (80hours vs. 20), it's 4x as big, but could be wrong.
