Sky +

The early box had 20 hours, but now it should be 80, although there's this gay thing where it records stuff for 'anytime', I don't know if that fucks with our space or not. There is an option to record (copy?) stuff that you have saved (red button), but I don't know what that means, it can only mean record though surely. I don't have that much of an urge to save my scat movies so I don't know....In short, I can't help you but I felt good trying :lol:

I think the current SKY+ systems have 80gig drives, which should give 40hrs recording time, the only way of getting any of the material off is via a VCR or DVD recorder,IE play the recorded material whilst recording using the other device, I changed the hard drive in my system once and I tried the old SKY+ drive in a PC and I'm pretty sure I couldn't open any of the files to view.

Almost sure the cable V+ boxes are 80gb and they've got 80 hours recording on so the sky + boxes must be 40gb. There's an option on the cable boxes where you can record to DVD so I would imagine the sky ones will do the same, one way or another.

Cheers lads, 40 hrs should be just about enough until I can get a new DVD recorder to copy off any stuff I need.

 

For about 100 bucks you can upgrade the box yourself to a 250Gb machine - Clicky

I did that with my system, only takes about 10 mins to do, took my system from having 20hrs recording time to 125hrs ;)

Old Sky boxes were 20, newer ones were 80. Then they introduced Anytime TV which records a selection of programmes to your disk, and I'm still not sure if this limits your own free space.
