    If you already have a Sky dish, all you need is a Freesat receiver, no install is involved.
    Have a look at the Humax Foxsat or Foxsat HDR boxes.

    Yes, but only BBC HD (as a separate channel) and the occasional programme on ITV HD (via the Red button).

    I got my Freesat for about £40, when they were doing the digital changeover in the Granada region last year because i'm on benefits i got one cheap.
    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

    If I was going to do that I would run another coax cable, you probably have a quad LNB if you have sky plus anyway. (meaning 2 spare ports)
