Re Using a Sky Box and Humax box together
In Spain we have an old Sky box so pay no subsciption.
However on obtaining a HD TV I use a Humax box to take advantage of HD channels plus loads of radio ones as well. But, we often bring out our Sky card from the UK to watch additional channels. Is there an apparatus that would allow me to run both boxes and be able to switch from one to the other instead of now having to undo one feed etc. Many thanks Dee

I'd thought that the only additional programming one may view by using a card in a digibox with which it isn't paired were the FTV channels like fiver, five USA and Sky3. Are there more available when using a subscription card in any old digibox? -- JonPhred

But OP has an *old* digibox (with no sub so quite probably with no card) that one can infer to be SD as it is stated that the Humax was bought to view HD when an HDTV was acquired. -- JonPhred
