For a start, the more recent Sky+ 40Mb boxes, made by Thomson, are really noisy compared to the old ones, both in terms of their fans and a real problem with loudly accessing the hard drive almost continually (this latter “feature” is supposedly being cured by a software upgrade soon). That would be bad enough in a living room, but it’s impossible to live with in a bedroom, where you have to sleep a few feet from the box. Why not put the thing into “standby” every bedtime? [...]
