Thomson DSI 8210CS Hard Drive replacement
Forgive me if this question has been asked before, but I have looked honest!
I have a Thomson DSI8210CS Sky + box that appears to have a faulty hard drive, symptoms were stuck in standby, after replacing the Caps on the PSU (to no avail), it appears the hard drive is to blame.
My question is what hard drives (make/model no.s) can I use to replace it either 160Gb or 250Gb, and when I have the hard drive is it a case of just connecting it up and off you go or do I have to install anything first? or press a fancy button combo?
Cheers

There is a little more to it than just putting in another drive. This tutorial is for the Pace, but the basics apply to any Sky+ box.
