How to find out Sky+HD box recording capacity?

I am looking to cancel Sky in the next few days due to price increase of over 10% and looking to replace with a new recording box, but want to make sure I get a big enough capacity and not 100% sure what my current box size is.

When I googled I only found 250GB is that the only size of a Sky_HD box? 

Is there a way to check the recording capacity on my box?

Not sure what model I have when I check the system details it just says R024.092.11.00P next to Model Number in settings.

Can anyone recommend a good replacement box for the Sky+HD?

That mdel has a 500GB HDD with 250GB reserved to Skys use, thus 250GB for the users recordings/downloads

@akh48 it might be more useful to consider the content the disk can hold.

 

The user manual says that a DRX890 can store 180 hours of SD content and 60 hours of HD content.
