I cancelled my Sky subscription several years ago but I still use the box to receive Freesat on the TV in the bedroom. There is a Sky card in the box, which I think I bought from them but I can't remember the details. (On the main TV downstairs I have a Humax PVR). I see that Sky plus boxes can be obtained quite cheaply: if I buy one, can it simply replace the Sky box I have?
Thanks, Chris.

Thanks, I'm familiar with Humax; see my first post.
The Humax Direct website is off-line as from the middle of last month.
