DIY: Adding Sky+ to your Sky Digital ?

netman

Hi folks,

I had this mad idea and I'm wondering if anyone did it already.

I'm getting Sky tomorrow, and thought of getting Sky+ because of the recording options, but it's quite expensive, requires an additional subscription (unless you subscribe to premium channels) etc.

So to cut the long story short, I opted for Sky digital, and was wondering if I could just go off a buy my own Sky+ box and connect it would that work?

Is there anything special in that Sky+ subscription to make it work, or is it just a way for Sky to milk you for more money?

I noticed that Sky aren't selling the Sky+ boxes for any less than the online stores, so it's not even that you're getting a good deal from them.

Anyways, if anyone's done this I'd appreciate it if you could share your experience here

The sky plus capabilities are tied to your card, you even have to have the digibox connected to the dish to view them.

I dont know if what you want to do is possible, but it would be hacking and the discussion of that is not permitted here
