## Description

NON-SUB-HD500

Review: Great replacement - Our old Sky+HD box died over Christmas and, not wanting to upgrade to Sky-Q because we have a setup that allows us to watch the same Sky channel in 4 rooms, we decided to try a refurbished box. Firstly, nothing about this box looks as if it's refurbished as it's in pristine condition and arrived well packaged with remote control, power lead, HDMI cable and even new batteries. However, this was not an absolute like-for-like replacement as we had ordered the newer model with built-in wifi and this soon became apparent as I moved cables from the old to the new. Telephone line and wifi connector no longer needed but I also realised that, as there was no aerial input & no RF output ports, we would need to order a RF Output Modulator, which is on it's way at a cost of £16.75. Everything else has worked like a dream. Wifi connected first time and has been stable since (we were forever having to reset the external Sky connector). Remote control worked from the off and, using the old Sky+HD box as a temporary conduit for the aerial to other rooms, we're all happy.
Review: Excellent results, with easy installation but no RF out. - I bought this box as a replacement for a slightly older version. This new one didn't have an RF out which was a bit of a disappointment as I use that extensively around the house. However a Triax IO link soon sorted that out - the only problem is that's yet another power socket required, it takes up a bit more room on the shelf and the additional short cables are a bit more messy. The unit itself worked beautifully and was easy to install and no trouble pairing the Sky card with it. Turns out though that I didn't really need it as my original problems were caused by the Sky card. A replacement from Sky put everything right,. I do though have a newer receiver with a bigger hard drive plus a wi-fi connection that I didn't have before.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come with a sky viewing card and if not will an old 'sky + (white box) viewing card work with it?**
A: My viewing cards about 10 years old and works fine. Great company to deal with.

**Q: Does it come with a viewing card....? Do I need, to watch freeview?**
A: Does not come with a viewing card.  No card required to watch any Freesat channels.  All Freeview channels (with very few exceptions) plus many others are available via Freesat. NB Freeview is a terrestrial system through an aerial so is not receivable by this device. You can use a Sky card if you wish to pay for subscription channels.

**Q: Can I use my old viewing card with my new box?**
A: Yes, we did and didn't have any problems at all. Literally, plug it in, pop the card in and go.

**Q: Does this come with remote control.? Will I still need to pay sky subscription, as where I live no satellite dish and no sky cable on wall**
A: YES. It comes complete with Remote,HDMI, mains lead. You would need a dish aligned to 28deg East Astra Satellite and in order to view Sky channels you would need to pay sub. to Sky. However there are over 200 FREE channels you can receive using this box some in HD
