« on: 20 May 2008, 12:16:54 »
We have basic sky box and subscription at the moment but wifey wants Sky+. Can I just buy the box and connect it up and if I can do that can I buy the HD box and just connect it or do I have to subscribe to more mindless pap?

TIA :y

There is no separate subscription for sky+ anymore...

It is free as long as you subscribe to something.

Think its another tenner a month for HD feed though :(

Normally needs a dual LNB to support the parralel view/recording of another channel......so if you dont have one then you would need that upgrading to.

Easy really it is basically a twin tuner PVR and all twin tuner DVB-S receivers need two independant LNB connections
