Is it possible to upgrade the HDD to a bigger one?, if so what is the max size?
My Sky box is one of the older models that has component!

Thanks

Have you had a look at the power supply capacitors in that old Thomson? many are very poor and fail after a few years use.

Thanks for the warning! I purchased a reconditioned PSU about 3 months ago, I was told it had high quality capacitors so hopefully it will last a while.

Can you recommend any HDD's that are suitable for the Thomson boxes? I have read that the box can be picky! Also does the less RPM mean it will be quieter? and does the butter size matter?

To be honest I would rather just buy a better box but I use it in conjunction with a HD PVR, so component is a must for me!

Thanks
