I want more recording space on my sky box

Not possibile, there is no way to add disk space to a box

You don't know what box they have now to know if your advice would be appropriate 🙂

The idea is you watch a programme and then delete it. Sky boxes are not intended for storing viewed programmes long term.

Only way to get more recording time would be to delete some stuff you no longer need

Bear in mind, [as N example] sky estimate of sd recordings on a 1tb sky q box is 500 hours and 2tb sky q box is 1,000 hours (for HD, you could divide time by 50% so 250 hours/500 hours).

It is a lot 

Plus if the hard drive malfunctions (like mine did last september), you'll lose the recordings. I know it is hard but sometimes you have to admit, I'll never watch them.

If you find using up a lot of space, sd recordings use less space.

If you would like more recording space and currently have a 1Tb Sky Q box, you can pay to upgrade to a 2Tb model. 

If you currently have a Sky+ box then you will need to source a box with a larger hard drive from a third party supplier such as eBay as Sky no longer supply them.

It should be noted, Changing q box from 1tb to 2tb  would mean losing the current q box (and the recordings on it)
