Sky HD-already have full multiroom subscription

[merckx]

I've already got a 4 way LNB supplying the living room and 3 bedrooms, so no spare outputs on the LNB.

 

I'm wanting to have HD in the living room, sky normally take an extra feed from the LNB so the HD box has 2 inputs so you can watch one channel while recording another.

 

I'm not bothered about recording anything, so it will it be possible to watch HD with just the single feed going to the box, I cannot think of any reason why it wouldn't be.

it would work but your sky plus side of the box wouldnt work i.e you could not record one channel and watch another you would have to watch what you are recording.

That's fine, thanks.

 

It's supposed to be possible to upgrade to HD on their website but it's just showing that we have 4 standard boxes and it's only giving the option of buying a new standard box.

 

There's quite a few people just buy a HD box from a retailer and get it switched over to Sky within a few hours by ringing Sky, I might do it this way as the HD and Plasma tv are going to be presents for Christmas.
