iPad USB data transfer

With help from this forum I am using an external USB hard drive linked to a BT modem to transfer data to iPad via File Explorer.
Now considering a change of internet provider to Sky.
Any one know if the Sky box has a similar USB port compatible with a hard drive / File Explorer ?
Questions asked around the sales ‘bazaars’ resulted in either a standard ‘don’t know’ or what is USB transfer.

However, from the Apple Shop, a very helpful tech person (don’t know about Sky) indicated that a forthcoming iPad update will support direct data transfer via a Silverlight adapter cable to a standard USB port - providing the hard drive is powered via USB.
Any comments, validation of this info ?
