Sky+ 160
 

I see that the 160GB Sky+ box is now on Sky's web site and they're
taking orders. Does anybody know of any offers on this box, or do
any Sky insiders know of any offers likely to be available in the next
month or so?

Also, is there any sort of program whereby a friend can get something
in return for recommending me solely for a Sky+ upgrade, i.e. I am
already a Sky customer so I wouldn't entitle them to a new customer
reward.

Have U a link to the new sky box?

Any new features?

Scott

You got a link to where it is on the web site ?

There isn't a link as such to directly go there.

http://www.sky.com/skyplus/launcher#

Use that, click on 'existing customers' this will open a flash window and
the link is on there. It doesn't do anything different it just gives you a
160Gb hard drive which gives you 80 hours of viewing time.

I think I'll stick with the box I currently have

What's the point of spending £400 on that when you can get a 250gig drive
for £120 and get 100 hours of recording?

It'll cost you ~ £70 to open your sky+ box and drop a 200G drive in
there. You'll need security torx bits and you'll invalidate your
warantee but it works fine :)

Some info about drives etc here

Or a 160Gb HD for only US$70 (£39) - okay so you will have to get it shipped
here, useful if you have friends/relatives in the US?.

I've put in a 250gb drive today, it's been going almost non stop for 6
hours, 94% free :)

Bit steep aint it. It would be far cheaper for me to replace the
existing hard disk in my Sky+ box or am I missing the point of Sky 160
?
