with original HDD, the SATA and USB are disabled
Replace the HDD with a new one then the USB and SATA become enabled surely..?

got the new box but still not working

don't worry it may be a firmware issue... It looks like they are locked out.. I just thought that if you replaced the internal factory fitted Hard Drive with an aftermarket one the blocks on the ports may be lifted, but the blocks may be firmware related.. it should charge your iPod though

My new Sky HD box wont even do that but my old Sky+ box would, used to run the laptop cooler from it to cool my D500S

so it probably cant be done then?

not unless you can replace the factory firmware with a custom one.
