SKY+HD recording

[Francis+-+newuser]

I have just purchased a used Sky+HD box which works well , but will not let me record. What are my options to get this to happen?  I don't have a Sky contract. Thank you.

Try performing a New Install to pair your viewing card

See question Q21 in my Sky Plus F⋅A⋅Q

If you are not a Sky TV pay customer then you will be unable to record, pause, rewind or fast forward.

I don't hold a Sky subscription, but is it still possible to get Sky to send me a viewing/record card for a "one off" fee, or a small monthly subscription? Thank you.

You can phone Sky but they don't usually provide this service any more as Sky+ is now a legacy system

I thought that they may not be interested in the Sky+ HD box any longer, but I will give them a ring any way. Thank you.
