Thankfully(?) I've already got a subscription - what used to be the Family Pack - as I'm sure you're right in that you can't use the record facility unless you've got an active subscription. Nobody in Spamcan Towers is interested in sport. movies or HD so at least my sub. is well below the Sky average of 550 quid per year.
A couple of years back I 'upgraded' from a '97 vintage Digibox to a 2000 vintage one from a charity show, i think that one was eight quid, but it did include abrand new proper Sky remote with fresh batteries :-). I swapped the card over and all our channels worked in the newer box, but this doesn't work putting the card in this 'new' Sky+ box. I'm hoping that in the installer menu there's an option to do an automated card to box pairing using the phone line.
