    Hi All,

    I have a sky+ subscribtion and also have just got a FTA receiver (HD). I would like to put the FTA receiver along side the sky+ box and switch betwen the two to watch some HD broadcasts. I don't fancy having to unscrew and rescrew the sat feed from the sky+ box to the FTA box each time I want to switch devices. Is there a switch available that can handle this without messing up my sky+ setup?

    I also seen some of the HD stations are available on 'Other Channels' on the sky+ box, don't I need a HD reciever to tune these in or will the quality just be regular?

    you can run another 2 cables from the LNB to feed the hd box.

    the sky + box (non hd) will not be able to show hd channels.
    I'm not sure if you can view the channels but if you can then obviously they will not be HD .

    AFAIK it shows a blue screen on a non HD box
