I could understand the difference in Sky's boxes (and Tivo's when their lower tier hard drive arrives) if there was a different number of tuners, etc i.e. an actual lesser spec. But the price difference isn't justified by the hard drive differences. With HD bigger hard drives are becoming more of a neccesity. If they think that should cost an extra £250 I'd rather they give me the opportunity to plug my own external hard drive in.

Probably not that many need 1TB with Mpeg 4 as the normal Sky+HD will record upto 60 hrs HD. These drive sizes people quote are not all strictly correct , although I agree £250 is expensive.
The standard Sky+HD box is 500gb with 250gb personal space recording upto 60 hrs HD and 250gb for Anytime downloads.
The Sky 1TB is actually 1.5 TB with 1TB personal space recording upto 240 hrs HD and 500gb for Anytime Downloads.
