I think you'd need to make sure you had a quad lnb (dish widget) - Sky+ takes 2 IIRC, so you'd have 2 spare."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested." -
I bought the HD box on ebay for about 70 quid, I am going to fit a 2tb disk into it to give about 900 hours recording.
Had to sign up for 12 month despite being on a monthly TV deal. Feckin Bobs in the call centre as well.
58 quid a month and they ain't getting anymore out of me, have a freestat card for the other rooms.Comment

Sky launches 1TB Sky+HD box
Bigger box in preparation for VOD and 3DTV services
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/3111...-1tb-skyhd-box
Sky has announced the launch of a new Sky+HD box which can store up to 240 hours of high definition television with its 1TB capacity.
The new Sky+HD 1TB goes on sale from today at a price of £249 and as well as the larger capacity offers access to Sky's 37 HD channels, the new HD Sky Guide, Sky+ and Sky Anytime.
"We want to offer people as much choice as possible. We know customers are happy with the storage on our standard box, but the Sky+HD 1TB will appeal to people who want to watch and store even more HD TV", says Hilary Perchard, Sky's director of product management and marketing.
The Sky+HD 1TB box is available with a Sky+HD subscription which is from £10 per month with installation costing £30 for new customers and £60 for existing customers.
The box will also work with Sky's coming-soon video on demand options and 3DTV services (although a 3DTV will also be required).Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?Comment
