My Father in Law has just upgraded his Sky satellite receiver so he has gifted me his old one. In these Sky HD boxes is a 500GB 3.5" SATA HDD which I put in a caddy and use as a second TV Shows drive, which has worked out nice as my existing 1TB TV drive is over 75% full. It also helps me stick with my ethos of re-purposing kit that would otherwise be scrapped. I am also going to look at getting CEC working properly on my RPI2 and use the Sky+ remote to control the whole rig, as they are fairly nice remote. I am thinking that my AVR isn't passing through the CEC from the TV to the Pi properly. The Pi is reporting that the TV is connecting at startup but it isn't responding to the TV's controller.
