Title: What Sky + equipment do I need.
Post by capper2824 on Aug 10^th, 2008, 9:23pm

Hiya all,

If someone has Sky + could you please tell me what equipment is needed.

At the moment I have a standard box, my questions are.

Do I need a different LNB?

Is there a subscription added to Sky + apart from the normal subscription?

Thanks all for any help you could give me.

All the best Rob.

Hiya

You need a sky+ box, and get sky to enable your card and box to work together. Not sure if that is extra on the subs, I know it used to be a year or two ago. Sky used to disable the hard drives in the boxes if you switched back to a normal sub.

You'll also need to upgrade the lnb to a dual or quad and run another cable into the box.

Thanks for that steve,

I was fairly sure I needed another LNB as I have only a single output LNB at the moment. I am now searching for the cheapest LNB quad.

Cheers for that m8.

Regards Rob.
