em i can get a brand new from sky for £30. Buying the box from u still doesnt mean that the channels ill get are in HD, u need a subscription for it. Fair enough ur getting a bigger hard drive but u still wont be able to record unless sky turn on the recordable features

£30?? From Sky? Right-O! That out of the back door? Even with a contract, you can't buy one anywhere near that cheap.

These boxes sell on Ebay for alot more than this. I'm guessing that if you wanted HD and you already have the box, you'll get a better deal from Sky? Or perhaps a replacement box if yours is fooked?

Either way, thats a pretty non-constructive reply IMO.

If you can get them from sky for £30 everyone would have them. Also you would be tied into a contract. I think sky have stopped doing the £50 offer also so i think they just offer sky plus for 3

I sold about 10 of these in the past few weeks on ebay for more than the asking price on here so alot of people still want them

I work for sky in the sales department, i sell HD boxes everyday if i dont sell them at £49 i sell them at £30. £49 is the going rate for a HD box for either new or exisiting customers. Yes fair enough getting one from sky ties u into a contract, but either way if u want the HD channels u r gonna have to subscribe to sky get them to activate the HD subscription (£9.75 per month)

I wasnt starting anythin was just pointin out a fact

as long as you match the card to the box, you will be able to get the box to work and you will get the free to air hd channels (bbcHD etc)

you won't have to get ANOTHER HD subscription, just tell them you want to pair a card to a box as the box was fooked, just make sure that you get whatever ou want off the old box as once the cards are paired you can't watch what you originally had

other than that, it is just as simple as unplugging the sky+ box and pluging the HD box in it's place and sod the set up fee's that sky would charge you for getting a bloke out in a van to do

don't forget to come abck here and ask how to perform the on air instalation though, pressing buttons and stuff but cna't remember which sequence

and if you don't believe me, i boguth a card of someone here (i think it may have been westy? ) and pluged it in and was watching HD telly in freeview (but not full sky as i didn't have a matched card )
