That's the answer then, I've bought a caddy to put an old Hard Drive in and I'm going to transfer some of the older stuff on to it to make room for new on the main drive.
I will upgrade the Hard Drive at some point (I have in both my Sky HD boxes but the HDD on the Humax is 82% full at the mo so need to watch/archive plenty first.
I presume although I cant record to the external drive, I will be able to play directly from it? Or will I have to move the stuff back on to the main drive first?
Sorry for asking but I've had the box about two years and hardly used it but it's getting a lot of use now as I've cut down my Sky to bare minimum (+movies!!) recently so I only have the one box now with Sky Plus.
Cheers all.
