I don't believe there is any means of upgrading the Hare Drive size. In the long term that will be the Achilles heel of the V+ STB, especially if Virgin do one day decide to get more HD content.

Any device needing a Hard Disk will have difficulty when the storage nears capacity. A good rule of thumb was always that 10% of free space is desirable in computers, so I'd expect a similar desirable with any other device.

Night time freezing especially shortly after midnight, when the Virgin Media updates seem to take place is a common problem. Why they can't do it around 4 am or sometime when there is likely to be really few people using the box is beyond me.
