Hi Dave

Yes it will. Only thing you do need to know if bringing a sky + box over, it has 2 inputs (twin tuner). Not sure if you had a single or dual cable put in. If you do have just a single cable, you may need to move the cable from 1 to 2 or vice versa when first installing. Within the settings menu, there is an option to switch to single cable feed, which you can do if box throws a wobble if it jumps between inputs.

Not quite sure what you mean. If you buy a Sky single tuner model. it only has one input. If you buy a Sky+ box, this has two inputs and you may need to change to single connection. Which single one it defaults to is anyones guess as seen it do on both ports.
