If VM were prepared to dissassembel STBs to put the HD from one V+ into another, or otherwise mess around, then no doubt it would be possible.

It won't happen though. There is no means for the customer to get at just the hard disk 9ports like USB, ethernet, or even SATA are all disabled. So unless you wan't to routinely archive to your DVD recorder / Video player (which would defeat the convenience of the V+), you loose your recordings if your box has to be swapped or you decide to reformat the drive.
