I updated last year to a Sky HD DRX 595 - and was able to use my existing subscription card -
but I don't know if this would be possible with a Sky HD+.
Thanks

If you mean to record on the SkyHD+ box then you will need a sky subscription to do so. If you already have a Sky subscription you should be able to phone Sky and get the existing card paired to the new box and also get recording activated on the card. With only 1 lnb cable it will work (use the installer menu to set single lnb mode) but not that well.
What I want to do is just use a sky + hd box as a direct plug and play replacement with current subscription for the broken tivo until I decide what to do and without having to fork out any more money to sky, which should work as you say.
That only leaves me wondering what disappointments lie in store as I begin to use recording on a sky box rather than the tivo - I'm getting peanut withdrawal already!
