SKY HD box size   
Hi all, happy new year

Can someone get a tape measure out and measure the physical size of a HD box 
please.
I have Sky+ at the mo and it fits into a "special" space in my unit, if the 
HD box is more than 1/2" wider (left to right as you look at it) it wont fit 
in so i prob wont bother upgrading for now.

cheers

Mine is 40cms (with the tape from a christmas cracker!). Note the air vents 
are on the sides and are quite hot.

Re: SKY HD box size   
It would crash too... I need a lot of space around it to keep mine cool and 
continuously operational.
