Has anyone here upgraded their hard drive on either a sky + box or a humax 8000 freeview box? If so is it relatively cheap and easy to do or is it quite complicated?
The Sky+ box isn't terribly complicated if you are familiar with PC hardware. A lot depends on what make of box you have, because Amstrad boxes are a lot more "picky" about drives than Pace boxes.
upgraded my 40gb hdd today to a 120 maxtor diamond plus 9 I have the Pace V2 box it was a piece of p@SS to do and took only 20 mins from start to finish if ya know wot ya doin that is but keep the old hdd incase you have to book a service call if anything goes wrong with box and just swap it back
Sky+ took about 15 mins to upgrade, would highly recommend the maxtor 160 quickview fm technoworld. Have a read at the sticky on pvrs and sky+, theres alot of good links there.
