Of course and I don't recommend anyone else do this unless they are as technically savvy as myself. If you know what you are doing though, it is a very simple process (fully detailed on the digital spy forums) and will not damage the property that I fully appreciate is on lone to me. Obviously it will be put back to how I received the box if I ever need to leave Virgin.

This was always an interim measure until I move house as if my new home is within the Virgin Media network then I will be moving to Tivo....but until this happens I did not want to tie myself down to a new 18month contract when all I needed was a bit extra storage to cope with the demands of HD content.
