As for your origional question a sky+ box can work with just 1 input, however it dosnt generally like it and can cause issues like the one your receiving. Have you tried switching the cable between both the different sockets in the back of the sky+ box, you could also try a forced update of the box (i cant quite remember the presedure but a quick google will give you the information). However by far the best option is just to wire up the second input.

Even without the sky+ sub you can still use the record 1 watch 1 feature but i beleave you much use manual recording ruther then jusr pressing the record button.
Are you sure about that??? - we have a skyplus box that will pick up freesat but will not record at all
Are you saying that if we manually press record it will work????
It does annoy me that as an early skyplus customer I actually paid £150 for my box (its my property) but without paying sky a monthly fee its next to useless.
I would love to have it working again so we can have it in the bedroom, after all freesat has all the channels we like to watch, but without any monthly subscription (and the foxsat hdr in the lounge is the most awsome piece of kit I have seen)
