watch sky+ after disconnect

[size13]

I've ordered an upgrade to sky+HD which is being installed next week. Problem is we've just come back from 3 weeks holiday and have loads of recordings on the existing sky+ box.

Can we keep the old box plugged in and watch the recordings after the new box is installed?

I guess the other way would be to copy off the recordings to our old HDD recorder.

Any other ideas?

TIA

To replay the recorded stuff, you will need to use the viewing card which was in the Sky+ box when the programs were recorded.

If you change viewing cards in the Sky+ box, the programs will still be shown within your planner, but you will probably find that the box will not play any which were recorded from Sky channels (those recorded from BBC, ITV, Ch4 etc may be OK).

ETA - I'm not sure whether you will be able to play back archived stuff if / when the old viewing card is deactivated - not tried that one.
