Default Waiting time for HD installation? DIY?

Hi there,

I just logged onto the SkyHD website to place an order for HD but the
earliest available date was September 27th

As an existing Sky & Sky+ subscriber is there any way I can just buy the box
and then 'install' it myself?

If so where is the best place to buy and are there any gotcha's such as
different models of boxes etc?

Thanks & regards,

Yes. Installation is simple replacement if you currently have Sky+.

Anywhere that has them.

No.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Looked on the SimplyDigital website but couldn't see anything.

Rang them up Friday - it arrived this morning!

Would have been here yesterday but for the Bank Holiday...

Excellent service...

Thanks & kind regards,
