Hi everyone,

Quick question please, i have a normal sky box and subscription, i am looking to buy a sky+ from ebay.

Do i just swap the Sky+ box and that is it, or is there any other thing i need to do.

Thanks

You will need another feed from your dish. As far as i'm aware you will also need to have your card paired to the new box and upgrade to a Sky + sub for it all to work.

Yes you will need a second cable from the dish, and you will need to contact sky to get the card set up for recording.

I replaced our broken normal Sky box with a Sky+ box 2.5 years ago. The recording function doesnt work even though our new white card arrived and correctly paired to the box during the card swap. Guess I better get onto sky at some point and get it sorted...
