I currently use a Topfield PVR which is very quiet.
How noisy/quiet is the tv drive..does it have a fan ?
Thanks for any replies..

Not at all.
The main reason Sky+ boxes get hot is the HDD in them.
A lot of hard drives now run at quite cool temperatures, coupled with a lot of air vents at the top, there isnt a need for fans.
is the 7 day(i think its 7) tv guide, only avalible after accessing the tv guide in the "home Page"??
or can you use it on the EPG at the bottom of the screen??
thank you
The box doesnt seem to be that hot, mine has been plugged in and used quite profusely for about 5 months now and works like a dream. It doesnt generate the kind of heat you would expect from one of the old Pace boxes if thats your worry.
Do you have TV Drive ?? if so how do you access the 8 day guide on the EPG ? is it as simple as keep pressing down on the channel your EPG is showing ?? or is their extra options on the epg ,ie press the yellow button to change day ????
Not a bad guess! You press the blue button to step forward a day.
I'm hoping the tvdrive isn't going to be noisy !
Also if you check the diagnostics screen it tells you the HD temp, mine currently runs at about 43 degs C, pretty cool for modern electronic equipment. My AV unit piles out lots more heat than that.
