Making use of old Sky box/ Virgin box

Hi,

I have an old unused Sky pace box (changed to Sky+) and also unused Telewest box (subsritpion cancelled)

My question is, can I use these boxes for anything worthwhile or can is there any place I should try selling it apart from ebay?

Cheers

  • The telewest box isn't yours, so you might want to return it to the owner ;)
  • they are after 12 months . they become your box

    Isn't that only Sky?
  • If you have cabling coming into another room from the sky dish then you can use the sky box as a freesat box. I think you may need to return the telewest box as after you cancel with them they ask for their equipment back.
    You can't be lost if you don't know where you're going.
