Bit of a thicko question. Am I right in thinking that if I take my Sky + box in the caravan all its normal functions will be available? i.e recording, viewing, downloading boxsets with internet access?

    I don’t know the answer but don't forget that site Wi-fi isn't up to handling that even assuming you are right.

    You have to take the sky box that the card is registered to. Download before you go and don't forget that if you do not have a sky signal then you cannot watch anything that you have recorded

    You will also need a satellite dish with twin LNB. You could link it to a mifi device to download box sets but the data requirements will be large.

    Doesn't it need to be connected to a landline?

    Thanks folks, so if I have my viewing card and box and an appropriate dish it will function just like at home? (Forget the box sets bit while on the road).

    Took mine away on many trips and as long as you have a satellite signal you can do everything bar download. All I did was download what you want onto planner before I left home

    Just noticed for some reason my last post has been held back. It says its one of my first three posts but I have posted on  several topics before so am confused

    Yes, is the answer. 

    We used to take our box away with us, all you need is the box, the card and a suitable dish to receive the signal. Its quite easy with a Sky box as it will only pick up Astra 28.

    Yes is the answer.

    We used to take out box away with us.

    All you need is the box, the card and a suitable dish that you can tune into Astra 28, tis easy with a Sky box as it only tunes into that, you don't get all the other satellites jumping in the way laughing

    Try it out at home before you go carting all the kit with you.

    Do a Google search on the subject and there is masses of information about satellite boxes and caravans.
