Totally new to cable services. Thinking about signing up to VM.

I'd probably only go with the M+ tv package and notice that there is a £49 activation fee for HD and if I wanted to upgrade to a V+ HD box I would have to pay £5 extra a month with that package.

My question is, if I buy a V+ HD box from somewhere like ebay, will I be able to watch HD and use the V+ stuff (pause/rewind/record tv) without paying the £5 a month extra?

Guessing I'd have to pay the £49 HD activation either way, even if the V+ HD box had already been activated by the previous owner?

Thanks
