Very feasible. They won't sell you anything if you don't want them to.

No, you need to subscribe. A tenner a month on top of your usual
subscription unless you take more than one premium channel (i.e. Sky
Movies 1 + 2), then it is free.
If you don't want to buy second-hand the best offers are normally at the
sky.com website. Current offer is 149 + multiroom at a tenner a month,
minimum 12 months. Unfortunately the 99 quid refurb deal is no more, but
keep your eye on the Sky + forum at www.digitalspy.co.uk for the latest
news (no connection etc just a personal recommendation).

It's very easy to do, unscrew and fit.
