    be aware that sky+ hd boxes are essentially useless without a paired card. you will be unable to get hd channels, sports channels or movie channels. you also will be unable to use the hard disk for recording

    you will need a sub to get the chans from Sky, you wont get anymore than FTA chans with these boxs without the sub

    your dreaming mickah,sky doesnt do anything free-theres a small matter of a substantial
    subscription involved for a min of 13 mths.-which u conveniently omitted.also u should
    cost the price of a replacement box +hd from sky or others to see the true cost of these
    boxes.

    my point is is that it is not possible to get all sky channels using a sky hd box without a full sky hd subscription. the card must be paired to the box. this is done remotely by sky. so it is simply not possible for you get channels on boxes that sky do not install as sky must pair these boxes to the cards. also the record function disappears once the subscription is terminated but you will be able to play what is on the disk. however its a very expensive solution to just play movies that you have recorded in the past.
