Couple of quick questions.

Currently have standard Sky but we are thinking about upgrading to HD+. Is it possible to connect an external hard drive to the box to allow us to save more programmes/films or is it possible to move stuff saved onto the HD+ box onto our PC?

you can buy bigger hard drives and fit yourself theres guides on internet, would void the warranty though. No you cant move saved stuff its encrypted too.

yeah the USB port is totally useless for the time being. surely there must be a way to save stuff to a pc from the sky box though.

I saw somewhere that the HD box can record 'up to' 30 hours. That's not much surely..

You can back-up / move data to your PC from your Sky+ / Sky+HD box, you need to download some software to do it though.
Dont think you'll be able to view it on you PC but you can definetly back-up your old Sky+ box saved stuff and transfer to the new HD box.
