Replace Sky + Box with Sky HD Box

Chong

Hello All,

Jesus its been a damn long time since I posted here but I digress, my Gf has Sky + Box and its on the blink, I have however a Sky HD I don't use anymore is it possible to swap the boxes over and have them work?

Yup just a straight swop and ring Sky to pair the card.
You may need to adjust the RF settings on the HD box if the existing Sky + was being used with TV distribution of Magic eyes etc....

Oh the card needs to be paired? I don't think she can ring em them as she is not the house owner, thats a balls

kbell

She only needs the card number and the account holders details to get it paired.
If the account holder is male then you do it.
Make sure you have the a/c's date of birth, phone number etc.. in case you're asked for it too.

If it's just the lower tier packs, then just bung your card in the new HD box and you're away.

However, if you want sports and movies, and the recording/live pause features, then I'm afraid You Will Have to ring sky. :cool:

Bit pointless having a Sky+ HD box and not utilising the recording,it doesn't matter who owns the house,it's the account holder with Sky that needs to ring and pair the card.Sky have gotten stricter with who rings them regarding customer accounts so it's best the actual account holder that makes the call-only takes a couple of minutes anyway.

Called sky friday last to pair up a replacement hd box, account in wifes name but they accepted details from me. Like other issues with sky maybe it just depends on who u talk to.
