If I buy a Sky+ from eBay, how much would Sky charge for installation? I see it costs £60 for installation on the website, but knowing Sky they would charge extra if you don't buy the box from them.
Any advice welcome

Weren't they doing a free installation deal if you bought the box from them?

Actually, i'm sure i've got vouchers which would entitle me and you both to £50 of m&s vouchers when/if you sign up.
Free SKy+ HD box when you sign up...

could ring up a local installer and ask them to put a new lnb on the dish and run another cable, then ring sky to have sky+ activated? Might be cheaper?

I got my parents old Sky+ box when they upgraded to HD, all I did was phone Sky to register it and it worked straight away. Didn't have to pay anything.
I was also on poverty Sky. I did have two sat connections to the dish though.

This, if you have Sky then you only need to upgrade your subscription to sky+

Might not need a new lnb, especially if it's a newer dish.
Easy enough to chuck a new wire in.

I might give them a call tomorrow to see how much installation is.
From what I understand then, you need another cable so you can watch one channel and record another?
