USB ports on Sky+ box, any use?

[Deluks]

I've got a few movies d'led on an external USB drive. Any chance of watching them via the USB on a Sky+ box?

I'm at my gf's and her lappy doesn't have a TV out. Can't suss what the USB ports on the sky box do.

Deluks,
I've had a look round and the latest I could find from Googleing was from 2005 but the USB ports were connected but not active at that time.
They were for:
Sky plans to enable USB ports for use with Thomson Lyra portable video player (40gig HDD) so you can watch recorded programmes on the go. Content will be rights protected so no chance of recording to PC anytime soon. Software upgrade will soon allow sky+ viewers to record programmes without ads.
It looks like they will be for one way traffic out of the Skybox not for an input connection.
