If I have all the required cables for Sky-plus can I just get a Humax
Foxsat HD PVR recorder and plug it in or do I need to pay the extra to
get someone to 'install' it?

Only if you want to pay someone money to plug the cables from the dish
into the Humax box...

You do know that your Sky box will function as a "Freesat from Sky" box
and get you all the "Freesat" channels. You are switching to the Humax to
get free HD and PVR fuctionality I take it. Is Sky+ still £10/month extra?

Five and it's offerings are not on "Freesat" and are FTV on "Freesat from
Sky" and I don't think all of Channel 4's are FTA (yet).

FTV - Free To View, free for anyone with a Sky box and card but you don't
need a no subscription to Sky.

FTA - Free To Air, free for anyone to view. No card required.
