Hi guys, just a little advice required to confirm whether or not I have just wasted some of my hard earned.

I currently have a Sky+ box which no longer has a Sky subscription - hence I am not using it.... it is turned off.

I would like to replace it with a Sky+ HD box, that I have just purchased from eBay. It also comes with a white viewing card, so I presume that I will be able to watch the free HD channels (BBC HD, ITV HD etc.).

I plan on calling Sky and paying the £10 p/m to allow me to use the recording services on the new (to me) Sky+ HD box.

My questions are:

1) Will I be able to simply swap my current Sky+ box with the Sky+ HD box?
2) Will Sky enable the recording services for £10 p/m
3) Is there a minimum tie in for the £10 p/m subscription or can it be enabled/cancelled at will?

Thanks in advance guys,
Steve
