Default Sky plus box or digital recorder??

Hi

I already have a Sky HD box that allows me to record programmes. I also have two other regular Sky boxes in other rooms.

I need to be able to record Sky programmes in one of those rooms which have just a regular Sky box. Should I buy a digital recorder and connect it to the sky box or buy a sky plus box?

Thanks

You should subscribe to the most expensive Sky package going. Pay £10 a month extra for each additional room with a SKY+ Box. Then wince at the bill every month!

Would it be worth ringing Sky up and asking what price they could do the relevant box for your needs for? Obviously mentioning that you are a loyal customer, keep getting tempted away etc.

If not, eBay may have what you desire, Deep.

Your best option would be a second hand sky hd box and using the single feed mode
