    Thanks John. Is that a definitive answer ??? as im going to buy a 2nd hand box now if it will definitely work for pause and rewind

    To be honest I dont care about recording.

    Does anything have to be done to enable pause and rewind ?

    Or anything where I have to give sky the serial number of the 2nd hand sky plus box I buy ?

    You'll need the serial number when you ring Sky to pair the card otherwise the record/pause/rewind functions won't work.

    The easiest way to get one FREE is get your dad to ring Sky and say a UPC rep called and offered a free 'recording box' if he joined,however he would stick with Sky if they installed a free Sky+HD box at no extra cost per month;) That would solve all your problems and wouldn't cost anything.

    So I get the 2nd hand sky box plus box, install it, then ring sky and say I acquired a sky plus box, can you activate the pause, rewind etc. Give them the serial number of this sky plus box and that is it.

    Yeah, cud do other thing to I suppose
