    Was this a one off? or this the actual price they're selling it for now?

    Thanks
  • Showing as £89 on their website - did you get a display model or something?
  • Cant find this on the Index website at all... SOLD out??? Any chance of the link if anyone can still find it. Thanks

    Obviously with the demise of Index, they are floggin off all their kit. This was in store on the shelf, along with loads of stereos and phones and stuff.

    Sorry for taking the thread off topic slightly, but, i had both ondigital and sky (then sold my ondigi box on ebay, and kept the sky digibox, but cancelled my sky subscription ages ago) I have the version 1 sky card that wont let me watch ITV,CH4,CH5 etc, I know there are version 2 cards on ebay (£40-£50ish) that will let you watch the encripted channels, but i heard that there is another card that can be bought for £20 (from some shops) that will do the same job? Does anyone know of this card have any idea where i can get it from?

    My main fear is that, if i buy the version2 card from someone on ebay, Sky will just release a version3! card and encript all the channels again!! :(

    https://www.freesatfromsky.com just ring them up and tell them you already have the dish and receiver, and give them £20 for the pleasure.

    Cheers, Des.
