    I have an older sky sd box in spare room for uk free channels but they are disappearing one by one lately, I can purchase a sky+hd box in local sat shop and can I just switch this with that older existing box and continue without any other alterations needed? tia

    Go with a Manhattan Freesat zapper box for the FTA channels, less than €100 via Amazon iirc.

    Would advise to try and get the sky hd box not the sky+ hd as they have a hard drive in them and usually take ages to boot up waiting on hard drive.

    As you can't record on them so no use for hard drive unless you want to take it out for pc but don't think box will run without it.
