Did you copy all the settings from the plus (+) box including from the installers menu - the RF channel output and the software update?

Just curious but if I called to get just a HD box would I face an extra monthly charge?

I have sky+ at the moment and just want any free HD and none that I have to pay extra for

You have to pay £10 for HD.

I've just had mine installed chuffed.

250GB for personal
250Gb for anytime

Engineer, said you don't need an engineer and if you don't get a landline just a £25 charge.

Wow, they have to split 50/50 storage for anytime?

Still, 250GB is still good.

It's working now, it just took ages to get the series link settings down

Re: Sky+ Boxes phased out
 
well i got my sky+ installed without a hitch.... or so i thought.

Firstly i got a 160GB box :( would have preferred a bigger drive but never mind.

Secondly, i've just discovered that my EPG is not the new one but is still the old style one. From what i've seen, the new EPG started coming out early last year, so quite why my new box hasn't updated confuses me...

Is it true that i can't force the EPG to update?

Also, i don't have the box connected to the phone line, will this affect updates?

you can have the sky+ HD box without the HD subscription but it will cost you £149 + install fee (thats what i was quoted as an existing full hit customer),
anyways,just took the advice off here and rang them,box is due to arrive in post on 15/02 and only a £30 charge,have subscribed to HD package,if you do it online you have to register and they get back to you with a date (this was as of last night when i nearly ordered it online).
seems like sky are taking a leaf out of VM's book with the self install ;)
