Colin,
Just had a long chat with Ant and it would appear that the Sky + box buffers the channel that you are watching through the hard disk. This is so that you can do live pause and start recording a program (from the start) if you are watching it and missed the start.
The hard disk is partitioned into 2 x 80GB sections, half for recording and half for buffering. It looks like I need to re-initialise the box/hard disk and it may well be fixed.
Got to work out how I get the 9 hours of programmes that I want to keep, off the hard disk and onto video now before I re-initialise!
