Sky+ doesn't include an MPEG encoder - it records the digital stream as
broadcast. The quality is *exactly* what was broadcast. Many people see
this as a feature, not a problem. Many people fit a bigger HD. ;)

Though until Sky comes up with a fix (if they ever do) there appears to
be a bug in the latest software that corrupts files, especially on 120Gb
drives that have stuff recorded on them beyond the 40Gb mark. It's known
as the '17 minute' bug.

You've posted this before but I've had one dodgy recording on mine
(and it was the entire recording not from 17 mins). It's a Maxtor 120
on a V1 box. Is this a V2 thing?

No, it's both V1 and V2. Take a look into Digital Spy's forums for
hundreds of posts about it.

Recorder' forum.
