V+ has Ethernet, USB and SATA sockets on the back that DO NOT DO ANYTHING. You cannot connect V+ up to a network and access the recordings. You cannnot connect it over USB and access the recordings. You cannot add an external hard drive via SATA. It's all possible, but VM don't want us to do it. However, the USB port does output power - some people use a USB powered laptop cooler to chill the box. Other people have reported success plugging a USB keyboard in to navigate menus, but that's it.


Hi,
I wanted to draw your attention to this important petition that I recently signed:
"Enable eSATA port for the Virgin Media V+ box"
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/VPlusBox?e
I really think this is an important cause, and I'd like to encourage you to add your signature, too. It's free and takes less than a minute of your time.
Thanks!
