JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted May 10, 2011 Dunno if anybody is interested in this but today I dropped a 1tb drive into my mysky box because I was getting pissed at the fact that out of the 320gb only half of that is actually available to record on the other half is reserved for ppv. New drive works perfectly with nothing allocated to ppv and will be a hell of a lot longer now before I run out of space. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted May 10, 2011 I take it you outright own the mysky box? , no sorry i don't but if I ever need them to come around for anything I can always swap it back in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
my_e36 43 Report post Posted May 10, 2011 I am interested but you just drop a standard SATA drive in it and it'll sort itself out? Do I need to pre-partition or Ghost the old drive's stuff across anything like that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted May 10, 2011 No you cannot just drop one in, I used this and it copied across everything I had on my current one and initalised the new one. Just a note that I am not trying to copy anything to backup stuff I was just getting pissed at not having much space to use especially when the missus and kids have stuff series linked all over the place. You cannot watch stuff via you pc or anything like that either. >>Clicky me<< Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

koruki 12 Report post Posted June 26, 2011 awesome stuff, I got a mysky HDi box in the start of the year when I heard F1 will be HD this year and its already filled up after a few races/qualifying. I have a ton of spare 500gb 2.5" harddrives sitting around which I been thinking of dropping into the box. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

richard.c 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2012 Sorry to bring up an old thread but was reading on the copy+ forum that a recent software upgrade to the mysky HD boxes has caused the extra HDD capacity to no longer be usable. Is this still working for any one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cliffdunedin 8 Report post Posted January 21, 2012 Nope, i have had no issues! This might be because it has not been updated as i'm assuming it needs to be plugged into my phone or modem for this to happen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richard.c 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2012 Sweet thanks, I'll give it a go then. Have you got the same software version as I do? Hard - TDS850NNZ.45.2 Software - 92.2.5.7.2.14s OS - C021017 EPG - U_1.7.1d Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
