Yes you can, when you ring sky to pair up the card simply tell them that you dont want to subscribe to HD at the moment.
You can still tune in BBC HD if you feel the need for HD.

SkyHD has a 300GB Maxtor drive, though it's partitioned, and only 160GB is available for personal recording.

i bought a SKY PLUS HD 300GB THOMSON DSI 8215 box

Those boxes seem good enough (so far anyway).

AFAIK, they're the only type of SkyHD box available at present.
