Nope!
It needs two satellite inputs (one for viewing and one for recording), so your dish will need a new lnb with 2 thingamybob sockets on it (sorry - not very technical!) and a second cable running from it to the Sky Plus box. As far as I know it`ll need a completely different card and subscription - the Sky Plus facilities have to be activated by phoning Sky.
At the very most I think all you`ll get is your basic package - none of the recording or viewing features will work.
