sky + new insallation problem

[popos dad]

Sorry if it's been covered before but i can't find it, i have a sky + box although i don't pay any subscription as i had a freesat from sky installation, anyway, i now have a sky + box, a twin cable from the lnb etc, the question is this, do i need to pay for a sky plus subscription to be able to record or can i just record the free channels while i watch another channel also i have a quad lnb, do the sky cables need to go into any particular port, 1,2,3, or 4? or just any two

thanks

The cables can gi into any port on the LNB,

As for recording, I think you have to have it activated by sky for £10.00 per month. Unless that's changed now,

Yes you need to have a Sly billing to recieve the recording.
