Is it possible for you just to buy a Sky+ 160 reciever and simply swap it over for your old box??
Or do you need it to be installed by Sky for it to work?
Cheers John.
If you have a valid sky sub then you can just buy the box and swap it out with your current one. Once you have done this you call sky and ask for the card to be married to your new box.
The additional stuff you would need to make the recording functionallity work (properly as the box will work with just one feed, but you cannot schedule recording without the second feed) is;
Dual or quad LNB (This can be sourced from the same place you get the box from)
A second cable run.
It is well within the capabilities of your average DIYer.
I did it for my Pace V2 box and have had no problems.
