How to upgrade from SD to HD?
I have a 2004 Sky Digibox and earlier in the year received a messaged saying to call a number to upgrade to HD if I want to continue watching BBC, ITV, Channel 4 etc.
I called the number and it couldn't be recognised. I called Sky and was told to ask here instead. Please help! Not sure where to go from here.

@tstrliz Your only option will be to get Sky Q as even if you manage to source a Sky+HD box Sky won't pair your existing viewing card to the replacement box.
You would need to call Sky to upgrade.

You now need to move over to Sky Q, Sky Glass or Sky Stream as Sky+ and earlier boxes of all varieties are now legacy/obsolete

unfortunately its to late now you had to upgrade your box by your billing date in october now unfortunately you cant pair your viewing card to second hand boxes any more sky wont do it anymore so you have to upgrade to either sky Q or sky stream
= Sky+ SD boxes x4 (pace bskyb 3100) ===

Sky is terminating the last batch of subscribers who haven’t upgraded to a newer satellite receiver and withdrawing the free upgrade offer in the process
Seems a little bit harsh, in my opinion....
I think they probably mean cancelling subscriptions rather than actual termination; )
