I currently have Sky+ connected via two cables to my sky dish. Yesterday I had two more cables attached to it by a local satellite engineer (approx £50 per cable run).
One of the new cables went downstairs so I have a Humax Foxsat HD attached to that there and the other cable goes upstairs.
My thinking is that, until the Humax PVR/DTR comes out, I will continue to use Sky+ and the HD box.
Once the new recorder is launched then I will move the Humax HD upstairs and install the recorder downstairs and drop Sky+ on to Ebay or something.
So in answer to your question, yes you can definately use your Sky dish and in theory as I have done (at the same time as receiving Sky) if you wanted to.
Hope this helps.
