Sky Plus Box Question

awesome2_2

Hi
Juat wondered if I could change my normal sky box for a sky plus box without paying sky. Could I just swap them over?
TIA:beer:

think sky plus needs 2 dish feeds as opoosed to the single one on an old box

It'll work with one feed, but only one tuner would work. Which won't matter as it won't record without a subscription. The Sky+ won't do anything an ordinary Sky box doesn't unless you pay a sub.

yep, as other have said, you need 2 feeds, so you'll probably have to get a new dual/quad LNB and rewire (about £10)
Then just phone sky and tell them you have the box and they'll pair the card with the box and you can start recording

Only if you pay the robbers a sub

Who do you pay the £10 to? I cannot find anything on the Sky site about this!

You pay it to Sky. Otherwise the recording function is disabled and it just becomes a FTA Sky box.
