sky plus

settopbox

i am a current subscriber to sky sports package.
i was wondering what you think about me buying a pace sky plus box on ebay and upgrading to sky plus. i no i would need a new lnb but is there anything else that i should know or take into account .
will i have any problems registering for the sky plus services eg will my new box reject the card must i confirm with sky what i am doing. what should i be expecting to pay.
any help would be appreciated.
thank you.

You will need a Quad lnb for the Sky + box.

well when you get your new sky plus box it will have to be married to the card, this can be done by ringing sky and giving them details of the serial nimber of the box and they will also ask if its connected to the telephone line, you will need to mention aswell that you wish to have a sky plus subsciption activated, which should be free for you since your a premium package subscriber, the only thing that is most important is to get a quad lnb and run a second coax 75ohm sat grade cable to your box, sky may ask if you have done this and to report on signals.
im not sure of where to get lnb's on the net but make sure its a triax minidish compatable quad lnb, mine is a skyware lnb, so that may give you an idea of where to look, if your buying the sky plus box from a retailer ask them for a quad lnb aswell.
