Please Note: Sky+ is now a legacy service that Sky are replacing with their newer services: Sky Q (all issues will be fixed during a Sky Q install), Sky Glass and Sky Stream
You can get a secondhand Sky+HD box from the likes of eBay etc...

I'm guessing you have an old Sky+ box. Sky no longer provide Sky+ or Sky+HD boxes. You can obtain a used box cheaply via ebay etc. Look for a DRX890 or DRX895 model as they're the most recent, though still at least 8 years old. You'll need to keep your Viewing Card to use in the new box, and will then need to link the two.
It's possible to purchase an adapter which converts SCART output to HDMI input, but your eyeballs won't thank you for it. An LCD television (even if just HD rather than UHD) really deserves better than an interconnect which is now half a century old.
