Re: Giving away my sky+ hd box

She will have to get the card paired to the new box, just a phone call to sky. If she subscribes to sky the record function will work if not it's £10 per month to enable it. She will get some hd channels free bbc1/hd etc.

She needs 2 feeds for the record function to work fully unless she is happy to record what channel she is viewing.

Re: Giving away my sky+ hd box

i cant confirm if it works myself but many people have said that if you leave a Sky+ or Sky+ HD receiver unplugged for a few months Sky wont be able to turn the PVR functions off as its not connected

This only worked with the old blue card as far I know. The latest encryption method with the white cards will not make a difference.
