    info Sky Plus Recording facility without sky subscrition?

    I have just inherited a Sky Plus HD box, remote and viewing card as a friend has just bought a new free view setup.

    I want to use the box to replace my old sky box and yellow house card which currently gives me English free to air channels in my holiday home in France.

    But - The record/playback facility doesn't work (it seems this happens when the Sky subscription is cancelled).

    I have been advised that I will need a second feed from my dish to the box so I can record onde channel when watching another.

    What else to i need to get the record/playback function working?

    As for "What else to i need to get the record/playback function working?"

    once you stop subscribing to sly they take away all this, they even stop you from watching the stuff you have recorded onto the HDD ,i think you can take out the disc and maybe run it thro a caddy but am not sure
