Hi.

I have an old Amstrad Sky+ box. 6 months ago I upgraded the 40gb HDD to 250GB. It worked fine until about 3 weeks ago when it started rebooting randomly.

This morning sky came and installed a brand new Sky+ box.

I now have 100gb worth of recordings on my old sky+ box.

Should I be able to put the old hard drive in the new box? I expect not.
Is there a hack to let me access the old box away from the Sky+ satelite connection? And also without a viewing card as this will now be in the new box? I dont want to watch TV on it...just view my recordings. I did try this off a satellite connection some time ago and it worked for 30 minutes.

THanks.
