sky usb

[hoezone]

Does anybody know what the usb ports on the front of my skybox would be for (i think its a thompson box)? just curious as to what could be plugged in?

The Ports (officially) aren't enabled, but there were rumours last year, that Sky was planning to introduce a Sky branded Personal Media Player, that would have used the USB ports to transfer T.V from your Satbox, to the player....
However, this fell through for various reasons....
(Mind you, there is a SATA connection on the back of The Sky HD box that looks interesting...).

Here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SATA basically its the connection between current motherboards and hard discs
