    Can anyone tell me what are the in and out connections on the current (July 2012) UPC HD PVR box. Also how big is the HDD on this box. I have tried to get the info on the UPC site but they are not there. I have a older silver Thompson box but it needs rebooting on a weekly bases and I want to upgrade to HD.

    I can not remember but I am almost sure that the HD box disk is twice the size of the silver box whatever that is.

    Thanks Colm for photo and list. I presume the ethernet is not usable and the recording hours are for SD recordings

    Taken from http://www.upc.ie/television/digitalplushd/

    It's 140 recording hours of SD programming compared to 80 hours on the non-HD box

    I dunno, I haven't got a hd subscription, thought it was twice as much space as a normal dvr but I rarely record stuff
