ill take a look, just becuase i like the idea, i wouldnt do it my self as its not my equipment. The 500gb recording space is enough for me at mo, max space i have got to i think is 12%

the recording space in the pic is massive, that is alot of tv viewing esp in SD

and also it would be more equal to skys recording capacity as well
