    Dont have any experience of that, but maplin have a funky device I am hoping to buy tomorrow, it is a housing for a regular harddrive, but comes with a tv remote control, so you hook it up to your tv, and you can select what program you want to watch etc. It costs about the same as that one. Maybe a little less.

    It might be worth checking out. When I get it ill post a review up here.

    Just plug a regular hard-drive into it.

    I hope to upgrade to a HD model in the next year. The following looks pretty class:

    Iomega have a USB HardDrive that also has a SCART connection, to plug straight into your TV and watch downloaded programs.
