~PC and cables to connect the sata drive. ~Windows PC or laptop (I used Windows 7). ~Torx security screwdriver (or vise grips). What you will need: ~BT Vision box (Black version, the older silver/white ones have an IDE hard drive). This instructable shows how I managed this and hopefully it will be of use to others in the same position. Estimates placed the cost of the hack at 35 million for TalkTalk. Bugger! After a bit of research I managed to unlock the drive and install a operating system on it. as well as TV services through a product called the YouView box, which itself is. There are three T10 torx screws on the back, some times these are security screws with a post. A quick Google search found that BT Vision box hard drives are locked. 1.First thing is to get the hard drive out of the BT Vision box. You buy a service for what it is not to make it something else. Linux reported errors writing the partitions. YouView provide access to their service via certified boxes, install unapproved or modified software on your box and its no longer certified so they'd have every right to block it from their servers. Ideal! I first realised this wasn't going to be straightforward when I tried to install an operating system. I opened it up and found a 160gb sata hard drive. I started putting together a server for my Xboxes running XBMC and was hunting for a suitable hard drive for the operating system when I came across the BT Vision box. Since then the box has been gathering dust in my shed. A couple of years ago I cancelled my subscription to BT Vision.
