Not sure if this comes under DIY but hoping it does.

I have a Sky-plus satellite box and cable but recently stopped Sky.

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?

I tried looking it up on the tv/sat experts forums and got baffled by
the science and vast lists of special leads/cables/connections.

Maybe someone here can just let me know in easy DIY terms?

When I installed mine I decided that a meter was too expensive. When I got
some sort of signal I realised that there were Strength and Quality bars on
the screen, so I used a long mirror leaning against a chair and could see
that from outside so could adjust the set-up.
