I am going to buy the Plaza HDR-S to replace my Sky HD box. Would I be able to connect my old Sky wireless conector to the ethernet connection on the back of the box and use for the on demand services.

Very doubtfull, the box would need to have drivers for the chipset used.

I weould reconsider your choice of box. Do a bit of research it seems it has problems with new HD channels.

Yes, a 'Grade A' Humax Foxsat 500GB box from Humax direct with a years warranty for £129.

Doubt the old Sky wireless would work, but it's a better box than the Manhattan imo.

Hi. Would you mind telling me about the problems this box has with the HD channels? I've Googled it but I can't find any info. I bought one of these boxes (second hand) recently after finally ditching SKY after 10 years. First impressions are not good! It's a glitchy piece of shit. One of the main problems is that the HD channels in particular keep breaking up. If I record any HD channel there is only about a 30% chance that it will play back properly.

Thanks in advance.
