Recorded Time Team today, Channel 4 HD. When watching the recording 
tonight the audio keeps dropping out. I lose it for 10 - 20 seconds at 
a time every few minutes. Anyone else or is my box playing up?

The whole of I'Robot on HD had a screwed up soundtrack, the voice channel 
was entirely missing. This was on both the DD broadcast and the downmixed 2 
channel track. The 104 broadcast was fine.

My apologies up front for an old question - this is a new PC following the 
explosive demise of my old one!
Can someone please point me at the URL for the excellent instructions for 
fitting a new hard disc drive into the Sky+ box? I used those instructions 
about 4 years ago, and now it is about time to do it again....
TIA.

Inevitably, there are minor differences between The different brands and 
models of Sky+ box.  The Morlocks website does not cover every model, so 
have a look at 
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=156344 for 
additional information.

Also, have a look at http://www.chrisgreen.co.uk/hacking-a-sky-box/.

I don't know whether you have purchased your new hard drive, yet.  If 
not, I recommend you use a drive that has been designed for CE (Consumer 
Electronics) applications, as opposed to a standard PC drives, because 
CE drives provide significantly improved performance in a Sky+ box.  See 
http://www.geocities.com/skypluswss/hdd.htm.

I have installed a Seagate ST3250820ACE  in my Thomson V3 receiver - and 
it performs perfectly.  The Samsung V120CE (HA250JC) HDD is also very 
suitable for use in Sky+ receivers - and I believe Hitachi have 
introduced, or are about to introduce, a range of CE drives.

As far as I am aware, DABS and Komplett no longer sell the ST3250820ACE. 
However, a search today at Google (UK) indicates that you could purchase 
this drive for £53.65 (incl VAT & delivery) from Systems Assurance Shops 
(http://www.systemsassurance.com/syssystemsRelated.asp?pn=ST3250820ACE).

Xtended Play 
(http://www.xtendedplay.co.uk/sky-hard-drive-upgrade-kit-250gb-prodid-5.html) 
include this drive in their 250Gb upgrade kit, albeit at a much price 
than other retailers.  Consequently, it is worth shopping around for 
cheaper suppliers.
