I recently had a Sky+ HD system installed and noticed a host of well known connectors on the back that are not mentioned in the user guide i.e. USB port, RJ45 LAN, eSATA. Is it possible to access these ports and make the Sky+ box the hub of a home digital media network.
The possibilities are many, combining the sky programming, PVR, the internet, wireless/home network and possibly games consoles on the same network able to exchange data and stream media files all over the house.
Can it be done and does anyone at MM towers want to try?

Those connectors, esata, usb are NOT enabled, try it, as have many others.
I have connected a usb hard drive, nothing it's the same with esata, probabley require a firmware from sky for them to work.
At the moment they are purely decoration, unless someone knows different.
