How does it work when you buy your own HD box? I currently have Sky+, if I buy my own HD box do I have to pay for installation or do Sky just upgrade my package their end over the phone?

the ebay boxes are far cheaper than sky's

You have to phone up Sky and get them to pair your card to your new box first..

I bought my HD box from ebay - works fine.

The HD movies fill up the drive really quickly though -some take up as much as 20%
