Default Sky boxes with HDD

If I were to buy one of these off Ebay and don't have a sky sub would
I be able to use the box to record programmes? I've got an FTV card.

TIA

You will have to get your FTV card enabled for 'Sky+' recording features, in
order for the box to act as a recorder.
This will cost £10/m I think.
