I know someone who's upgraded to sky HD so was thinking of buying their old SKY+ box off them.

I only have a single feed cabled up at the moment but I hear you can get around the problem of it not recording by setting a dummy recording to tie up the non existent tuner.


I was thinking of buying it anyway as at the moment I cannot record at all (Problem with the flow style sky boxes and my dvd recorder means the picture shifts to far left) + can't record pin protected movies without being there to enter PIN.

Am I right in saying I'd just plug it in, then pop my viewing card from my regular sky STB in and then presumably I need to tell sky i've changed the box otherwise the movie channels stop working?

Also do I have to request any kind of activation for the recording ability or is that already enabled on all sky cards thesedays anyway.

I have all the Mixes +Movies & sport so as far as i'm aware don't need to pay extra to enable +?
