This box has a 160GB hard Drive, that you can hear whirring away when you start up and switch off.
It is quite thick (about 3 1/2in) and only comes in black at the mo.
I have had a few problems with my box, when ever I switch a channel over, it records it!
There are currently only a few channels on SKY that are broadcast in HD, and the majority of time, they are repeats.
As it runs through an HDMI port, it means that your TV will not detect it, so you have to switch to AV mode. You can watch it in Scart, but the picture quality isn't the same.
I currently pay 53 a month for a BASIC package, and BBC1, ITV, etc do not broadcast in HD.
The "backup" button is small, and above the pause button, there has been a few times when I have pressed pause, and the box has crashed.
To be honest, I would wait until a few more channels are broadcast in HD before you get this.....
