As the teacher would say C- Carl you must try harder
Sky+HD is advertised as 250GB , it offers the customer 250GB (60hrs HD) and has a 250gb partition for On Demand meaning its actually a 500GB HDD.
Sky+HD 1TB is actually a 1.5TB with 1TB for personal recordings and 500GB for On Demand , the box will also record more hours of HD than TIVO (240hrs) owing to the fact Sky use MP4.
So basically your correct that part of your drive is used for On Demand however you don't lose the advertised personal space

Obsolete now , the standard Sky+HD box is a 500GB HDD with 250 for personal (60hrs HD) and 250GB for On Demand , the boxes it arrives in only advertise the customers space which is 250GB.
