Re: Sly + hard disc drive
The hard drive in a standard Sky+ box is a Standard 3.5" IDE drive and can be used in anything when removed, in the SkyHD box it's a SATA drive...
 The capacity depends on which version you have though (I can't remember all of them but I know the first ones were Slim 40GB Maxtor drives)... |

Re: Sly + hard disc drive
see post Upgrading the Hard Drive in a Sky+/SkyHD box By Lincsat for further info. Gives very good pic guides on how to do it. If u want a HDD i can recommend _http://www.aria.co.uk as a supplier. I have used them for years for components and they are VERY good on both price and service.
