My System: Dreambox DM500s, DM800HD, Sky+, minidish, Fortek star 90cm dish, Fortek Star Motor. | I was thinking of upgrading to the Sly HD but don't need the box as I have a DM800. Will Sly send me an HD card without them having to come round and install it if I pay for it monthly. And will they tie me in to a contract for a year. I have Sly+ at the moment. Regards, Tom. | ||

I very much doubt it if you wanting a new subscription with Sly they will give you a price for the setup, however you might be able to get a HD card from a indipendant retailer. Have a look around you probs will find one Happy HD watching Mark | |||

My System: Dreambox DM500s, DM800HD, Sky+, minidish, Fortek star 90cm dish, Fortek Star Motor. | Surely then you should have got them to come and install it and then you would have had a spare HD box to either sell or use for multiroom. | ||

I did the multi room insall myself and just had a card sent for that when I did it. They do try and encourage(force) an installer to call but if you insist you just want the card you will get it. | ||
