Insider - If you're confident that the £90 drive you select will work or you
don't mind wasting £90 then go ahead pal!

Fact is that A LOT of drives either don't work at all or work unreliably or
break after being used for a while.

Since postage and VAT are included and the security bits are supplied at the
cost price of £10 (you can delete them if not required), most people
appreciate that this is not a 'megabucks scam', but rather a genuine attempt
to help fellow Sky+ fans get the most out of their equipment.

The answer to that is to pick a type of drive that others have had
success with and, above all, get one with a three year manufacturer's
warranty (and there are only two of those left now).

I bought a set of recessed Torx bits for £4, retail.

That said, your pricing for these drives isn't unreasonable on the
whole.

Any chance of details of where you bought 'em?

A local electrical shop. Just a small set of 8 bits, admittedly.
