Cancel SKY HD - lose PVR?
 

I'm going to go Freesat with a HD PVR box soon so need to cancel SKY HD and save £35 a month - had it since it launched and just make so little use of it. The upscaling and HDMI output is good to have though.

I know they will block the HD channels and all other subscription channels, but will they sneakily kill my PVR recording hardware function too?

Cheers

yep, they certainly will fella.

If you remove the card before your subscription ends, then unplug and leave it off for a couple of months, allegedly it misses the "disable recording" command

That kinda seals the deal then as HDD prog recording is now a pretty standard and a HARDWARE based function - and I paid 'em £299 for said hardware already!

Crooks! (or 'entrepreneurs' ;)? )

Does that come down the phoneline mate - or via the sat?

Being an ex-employee, i rather tend to think of them as a "very objectionable organisation" :thumb:

No idea sorry, but if Sky had there own way it would be by sending a few guys round to kick your door down.

I would imagine it would be via the sat though, I think I read it on AV forums, might be worth a post on there.

and you were "once upon a time" trying to get me to sign up with them doing the same job you did :eek: glad I didn't bother... grass isn't always greener my friend.

Tell it like it is J!!!!!!!!

Just unplug the phone line, I have not plugged mine in yet since i had it installed.

Les :)

Damn right L! The phone line is connected to the camera hiden in the box isnt it (or is it just me utterly paranoid:freak3:;))

D

Isnt the camera in those magic eye things you all install in your bedrooms?

Talk about throwing a good deed up on someones face!:lol1: You are right thou, at the time i was making a very handsome amount of money but all good things must come to an end.:Whatever_

Anything going currently then Jamesy bob?
