Hi

i want to buy this box but not activate the Hd function, i just want to take advantage of the bigger hard drive, can i do this with no problems, just use it as a normal sky + box??

many thanks

good idea, much more reliable than a sky + box, and you can view BBC HD for a limited time if you are HD ready.

Yep. I did the same earlier this week (but from a normal Sky box to a Sky HD box).

Just follow the DIY Sky HD installation thread (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s....php?t=491562), & then phone Sky to pair your card with your new box, & get the Sky+ features activated.

Bigger HDD than Sky+, HDMI connection, upscaling of SD channels, and BBC HD - very nice
