SKY+ upgrade?

Question

I want to get Sky installed, and want Sky+ but instead of paying the £99 I could get one for £20 on E-bay!

Can I just hook it up to an existing SKY line once i get it wired up or do I need Sky to connect it specially?

Answer 1

I think u have to get sky

Answer 2

for sky+ you need the following, A dish pointed 28.2 deg South east - a QUAD lnb (4 outputs -same for HD!) for it...

  ( wait mid day an point just under the sun - Easy!) 2 coax cables connected between the dish and Sky+ box and a phone line..

You can use a freesat freeview card or ex-subscription card for freeview tv = IE an ex-decoder from e-bay!(with card)

BUT - - you will need to pay SKY £10 a month just so the recording ability on your plus box stays working... Con artists - its like buying a car and paying £10 a month so you can have the wheels on it!

Buy the way for those interested in the HD systems its ALL the same except you need a HD box also the BBC have FREE HD channels on Sky as a trial at the moment..

SOD SKY - let Virgin have satellite systems...Then it will be fairer, The UK are the only country that pay for sat..tv

Answer 3

You would have to get sky to set it up, you could only use that one in another room. If you want it cheap wait until the recommend a friend deal comes back on and you get a sky + box and standard installation free. A small fee if you dont have a land line.
