    Just a straight swap of receivers, if you have Sky +.

    you need to change the LNB on the dish to provide at least dual feeds and then run in a 2nd cable to the box. If you are looking to multi-room the old box you will need a quad LNB and run a single cable to the new location of the old box

  • Give them a ring they are doing some excellent deals on HD+.
    I just swapped to HD+ from sky+ and got free set up and installation & £60 rebate on the HD pack ( six months free ).
    I did have to sign up to the movie channel for 3 months but I can cancel that after a month.

    The HD picture is excellent by the way.

    Then sadly " self set-up " is not applicable to you, as others have said, you need to change LNB and add some cable/s.
