Sky+HD Question

Mrs_PI

I would like to upgrade to Sky+HD

At the moment I have just a plain bog simple Sky box, but I share a dish. It has a dual LNB on it, so I would like to know can I upgrade to HD which I have been told needs something different ( LNB ? ) to get HD, with the other person who has the other feed from the dish staying the same?

Thanks

A Sky+ and Sky+HD box needs two feeds from a dish. If you've a dish with a quad LNB on, there's enough spare connections. If not, you will need another LNB. If you go for Sky to do the installation rather than buying your own box off eBay, they'll change the dish and LNB and reconnect the other person as well.

Sky + HD needs a twin LNB feed. Part of the fitting charge is to provide a new dish, LNB and wiring to the SKY + HD Box. If you do not use this then you

MAY receive SKY HD
WILL NOT get SKY + (ie record one channel while watching another)
You only MAY get SKY HD as its possible your old LNB will not give a sufficient signal to give a clear HD feed to the box. HD needs best quality signal as its a much broader bandwidth signal than STD signal.

Hope this helps.......

Best of luck
