UPGRADING YOUR SKY BOX

 

Looking for More Memory on your Sky + or Sky + HD Box?

*** Modifying your Sky Box may void your warranty; be sure to contact your Sky Service provider first.

Your Sky+ and Sky + HD Box comes with a standard recording capacity that may not be sufficient for your needs, especially if there are several TV viewers in your home. There are options for upgrading your Sky Boxes.

One of the most popular choices is to upgrade with a Sky+ Hard Drive Upgrade Kit which is available from many technology suppliers. This kit allows you to install a 250 GB DVR/PVR drive that is compatible with your Sky Box and designed specifically for its specifications.

What Your Kit Should Contain:

In order to complete your upgrade successfully the kit should contain the following items:

  • New hard disk drive
  • Security screwdriver set to open the receiver
  • Printed instructions

Features to Look for in a Kit:

Regardless of the kit that you select, there are a few features that you should be looking for. These features are:

  • Ensure that the kit is specified for use with a Sky+ or Sky + HD Box. Generic computer upgrade kits may not provide the desired results and could potentially damage the system.
  • Select a kit that includes full step-by-step instructions, specific to your model of receiver. Even if you will be hiring someone else to install the kit, it is best to select one with complete instructions to avoid any problems.
  • Look for kits that offer free technical support. This is especially important if you will be completing the upgrade on your own.
  • Choose a kit that comes with a comprehensive warranty. As with any piece of new technology, your new Sky Box Upgrade Kit should have a warranty that suits your needs and alleviates worry in case of a problem.
