I know Sky+ needs 2 cables, one to watch and one to record a different channel. Will a Sky+ box work with just one cable? I realize I'd only be able to watch/record one channel at once though.

I'm confused.
Are you wanting one Sky+ and one standard box (for you) and another standard box (for the neighbour). If so then a quad-LNB (which you must have at the moment to run your neighbours and your Sky+ off) will do.
If on the other hand you want 2 Sky+ and you neighbours standard box then you 'll need one of the new octo-LNBs like we have (one standard Sky for freesat and 2 Sky+ boxes). We got Customer Relations at Sky to organise it but if they won't play ball then you can get them off EBay for about £30.
