I have just been having a look to see if its possible to upgrade the hard drive from the 160Gb as its too small (remember opening up the TTV+ box invalidates any warantees). I came across the BlobBox on Telseys site. It looks very similar to the TTV+ box and the TTV+ box is made by Telsey so it could be the same inside.
If it is the same box then boy we are missing out this box is seriousely capable of all sorts of cool stuff.

Hopefully TTV+ will get some of these features, I know that some of them are really techy but to stream HD content from a PC or NAS would be great.
