who has sky+? I've just ordered a 250gig HDD to replace the 40gig it comes with, anyone tried this?

 

luckily i got ahold of a pace v2 box :D

I do, havent messed with it yet tho

I got the amstrad box. I think its a 40gb and I have a 200GB I was gonna put in.

Ive heard you just plug the drive in and the box formats it and sets it all up, however, the time left display will not be very accurate anymore.

thats how it is done,

 

piece of piss really,

OK why?

135hours of recording,

ive got a 120 gig in mine m8, and works like a dream

only difference is the remaining time doesnt show any more

but still shows the % left, ive never come close to filling it

so well worth the upgrade:)

I did it for Karen's and it was the easiest upgrade I ever did. Still not as good as a TiVo though ...

the hdd i got today has actually failed on me, lol, gotta wait a few days for this mod now grrr

did you get a maxtor m8? deffo the best for the sky+

yup maxtor, worked for about 10 minutes then stopped, so after 30 minutes of messing around i put the old drive in and thats been fine for a few hours now. gonna test the other hdd tomorrow

i assume from your first post Mike it's a new h/d??

otherwise if its been in a pc, i remember something about it needing a low level format, can't remember why lol, be interested how you get on

as i was thinking of upgrading mine again to the same size, not sure i need it, but just because i can lol, no off on another cruise in october, so will full it up with 2 1/2 weeks of rubbish lol

yup new H/D :)

 

new new HDD is now in and operating correctly.

 

I have it setup to record the grandprix and a load of other stuff tomorrow so wil let you know how i get on :D

 

i have yet to hear of someone having a problem
