Oh bum ..... I feared as much.

Replacement HDD it is then - don't suppose there's any way to copy recorded programs from one to the other?

Get it replaced by Sky, for free, with a nice new DRX890, which will have the benefit of being compatible with Sky On Demand and any other new features.

Sky's run this offer a few times. Mrs D and I had our old Thomson box replaced for free last year.
I think it's a Samsung one :-/
