Re: Sky+ Boxes phased out
Yup. Got me that deal, really good deal. I canceled my TV with Virgin and of course, I was sold a phone line but didn't go down that route. I attempted for V+ but they wanted £49.99 for the box and £30 install fee. So decided to pass.. shame but hey..

I'm on the Phone to Sky now, they're giving me a Sky+HD Box for self install as I've already got the relevant connections from my Sky+ box, so that's £30 for the box and no install charge, bargain, should be here next Monday

Oh and yes it's the 500gb one |
I have Virgin telephone & cable but Sky + box. Will I be able to get one of these Sky + boxes or do I have to get a phone line with them too?

Re: Sky+ Boxes phased out
No, you have to have it connected to a phone line, but it doesn' matter who from, mine is connected to a VM phoneline over a pair of DECT extenders

Re: Sky+ Boxes phased out
If you don't have it connected to a phone line, you could be charged the full price of the box mind

Re: Sky+ Boxes phased out
As I understand it the 500GB box has 250GB for personal use and the other half reserved for Anytime and the 1500GB box has 1TB of personal use
500GB / 250GB
1.5TB / 1TB

Re: Sky+ Boxes phased out
Yeah quite possibly, I think it's a shame that when you turn the Anytime off, you don't get access to the space that should be freed up, I never use it. It's still around 4 times the space available on my current box

Re: Sky+ Boxes phased out
Box has just arrived via Parcelforce, they said expect it Monday so I was rather surprised when it turned up  Anyways, just letting it warm up of its own accord so I don't get any condensation problems, then I'll get it setup, need to write down my recordings and series links off my old box first anyway!

Re: Sky+ Boxes phased out
OK it's all working, BUT, I've programmed in all my recordings that I wrote down off my old box and the option to series link isn't coming up on 10 out of 12 or so of the series' I was able to link fine on my old box :\ Any ideas?

Re: Sky+ Boxes phased out
My install is due on Saturday, quick turnaround to be fair. I only ordered yesterday. Looking forward to it.

Re: Sky+ Boxes phased out
My install is booked for this Monday - so i'll be fitting some larger trunking to the skirting board this weekend
One other (silly) question - does the install include an HDMI cable - or do i have to supply one?
