Install pre-requisites

So does the new box connect straight onto the coax for the old set top box, or is a new cable required from the junction box?

It obviously needs power and a hdmi cable out (to home cinema amp in my case but could be tv)

Anything else I should be ready for on Friday to ensure a smooth process?

I would assume so, yes.

Hi

My install was a box swop (less than a minute) then 30 minutes to configure the TiVo and download tv guide data

The engineer was in and gone in about 45 minutes

connects straight into the coax for the old set top box.

I thought so but thanks for the confirmation. My kit is all wired into a complex shelving unit so good to know in advance.

Yep, uses your existing connections - the splitting of the signal for the cable modem and tuners is done internally by the box.
