What Can I Replace My Aging Sky+ HD Box With?

Simple question (possibly) .....

Our Sky+ HD box is getting on a bit (OK, a *lot*).

We're getting a whole load of 'Technical Fault 7' errors, which the general consensus of opinion seems to suggest are related to a dying HDD.

Thinking about replacing the HDD has got me thinking about whether or not it's possible to just replace the whole box with something that isn't 'Sky' necessarily, but which will do the same job (take a Sky viewing card, decrypt the feed, save to HDD).

This has the benefits of a) solving the current problem, b) giving me a shiny new toy to play with, and c) allowing me to leave the old one connected to the TV while we finish watching the previously recorded stuff.

Thoughts?

Thanks
