    Q. Sky+ to HD, as simple as removing cables from one to the other or will it require tuning etc

    Thanks

    Just change over the cables - no tuning required.

    However you will need to pair your viewing card with the new box.

    It's a reduction - £60 for installation, £30 for self installation and they send the box out to you.
