[QUOTE="davemurgtroyd, post: 1047349, member: 319227"] All DRX890s have 500GB HDDs, early DRX895s had 1.5 TB (1TB for personal use the so called 1TB box) and later ones had 2 TB (1.5TB for personal use). Early 890s and 895s had RF modulators and used external add on WiFi/ethernet whilst later ones have built in WiFi and used exteernal RF modulators via an io link. Note that all OE HDDs were AV spec optimised for PVR use and as such can prove unreliable in PC data applications - differing error correction firmware and different caches compared to data specified drives. They may be cheap but also unreliable in PCs. This is also true for virtually every AV recorder/PVR. In the same way PC drives used in PVRs can cause problems and data corruption. All earlier Sky HD+ boxes (with one exception) used 300 or 320GB HDDs. All Sky HD+ boxes used SATA drives and SD Sky+ boxes used 80 or 160 GB IDE drives [/QUOTE]
