If i went out and bought a sky+ box from a pal and plugged it in would it work?

Have had my sky+ fitted yesterday

But, they used the old skycard that I was hoping to use in the old sky box in another room. Is this what usually happens, as I was under the impression that I'd get another card? Can anyone advise?

just rang sky on the freephone number 08000560939 which was sky card who put me through no problems
after speaking to the operater and telling her i want to cancel for financial reasons and want to move to ntl for a cheaper deal i was offered a deal on a 12 month contract25%off the full package making this £31.80
or a 6 month deal no contract @25%off
because i don't really want ntl as i have it already in another room and don't like it much and i didn't want to leave sky i have taken the 12month offer saving me £130 a year and it doesn't affect any offer of sky+/skyhd/broadband which may be during the next 12 months

that free fone number is for Sky credit card, and she wouldn't put me through :rolleyes:

Got through on another number. I asked how much notice i had to give to cancel the sky subscription, the lady told me 30 days notice. She asked me why i wanted to cancel, and i told her I wasn't really watching it. To my surprise, she didn't offer me any deal at all.

Anyway, I have basic 2 packages , if I cancel, will i still receive the normal freeview channels?? Please reply someone, I don't want to cancel if I loose the freeview channels as my house ariel is not working properly.

You have to have two lines from your sky box into the back of the sky+ box to get the dual recording facility. Then all you need to do is phone sky and ask them to switch on the skY+ recording. This is FREE as long as you have two premium channels. e.g movies 1 and 2 or sports 1 and 2, or you pay £10 a month for it.
