      Question about upgrading Sky box: Advice needed.

      Hello,
      At the moment we currently have a Sky+ HD box downstairs with the HD package etc. and a multiroom subscription upstairs with the old Sky+ box. We were looking to upgrade the box upstairs to a HD box too but I wanted to ask a few questions first:
      1) If I were to buy a HD box off eBay as they seem to be a great deal cheaper than buying directly from Sky or another local company, how would I go about fitting it? Would it just be a case of swapping the cables with the current Sky+ box?
      2) Would the cost of the multiroom subscription increase if it is connected to a Sky HD box?

      Thanks guys

      Very simple swap just remove the old Sky+ and fit the new HD.

      If you want HD, you will have to pay another £10 per month for the second HD receiver, multiroom will stay the same price so that will now be £10 for multiroom and £10 for 2nd HD sub.
