    I had a regular Sky plus box. I'm considering buying a Sky HD box off Ebay.

    I believe to use the Sky HD box all I have to do is call sky and have my viewing card paired with the new box. Is this correct?

    Also I have some recorded tv on my old box that I would like to watch after I switch over to the Sky HD box. Will I be able to watch this material after pairing my viewing card to the new box?

    Yep, only takes a few minutes.

    No, once you pair the card with the new box you can't view anything on the other one.

    install the box and pair the card, correct

    no

    unless you use that actual box as an extra one

    That one is a single tuner only.. (not sold by amazon )

    Dont think it has recording capabilities either (i could be wrong on that though )
