i have the basic sky box connected to 1 lnb if i need to replace my old sky box to sky hd decoder i need to replace the lnb and the wiring?

David says:
With SkyHD (as with Sky+) the second lnb is used to record a show on one channel while you are watching another channel (dual tuners).
In theory you can run SkyHD on one lnb only but you will be missing out on the feature of watching a show and recording another one at the same time.

Nice, David. Just got mine and wrote up a similar summary here, linked over to your nice tips on figuring out if material is upscaled. I wish they'd just tell you that was the case.

how does an HDMI to DVI cable work.
Does the signal still need to go through the pioneer media box or can it go directly to the screen?
I have a pioneer 503 and the picture keeps pixilating. I think the problem is the media box and to bypass it would be an ideal solution.
