[QUOTE="methos_de, post: 13688, member: 175191"] Hi, I did have 2 SKY+ boxes up until shortly. SKY now insist on all boxes being rigged up to the telephone line if you have any cheap subs. I've now only got one as when having one you don't have to have it rigged up. You do have to pay 10GBP a month extra to have the record facility activated. Although if you manage to get hold of a second hand box by which the record facility wasn't deactivated, once you have your card married to it the record facility will also work. I have tested this so I know it does work. SKY can also only deactivate the record facility using the modem. Should they see in some record that the record function was never deactivated they could however just turn your card off until you agree to pay the extra tenner a month. You can't use the box like a VCR in that respect. You do have to have at least one tuner connected. You don't necessarily have to have both to record. Should you only have one rigged up you can't watch one channel and record another. I have to admit though 100GBP is suspectly cheap )(-)( Although should you not want it, just let me know and i'll have it :D Methos. [/QUOTE]
