symikins

just changed over to sky + and still have old sky box so is it worth trying to sell it or is it useless now ?? also the fitter seems to have used my original scart/mains +ariel? [l think] leads , as the new ones that came with the sky+ box are still in the box in sealed bags [ should l hang onto these] ?

also what leads should be sold with the old box

sorry , lm not very techie and aplogize for any silly questions

sell the old box on ebay with a power lead, depending on the model, £10-£40

It's value depends much on the make and model of your old Sky Receiver, some models will make better money than others.

Car Boot / Online Auction etc.

Run a cable from the dish lnb input to the back of the old sky box and you will receive all the free channels at no cost in a separate room. Use your original cable if he used new cable for the Sky+

have a look at you sky where the wire goes in, if there is a spare connection just connect the wire in the old box to it and connect to the box if not you will have to change to twin lnb (just means 2 wires can be connected instead of 1).

look up fitting a twin lnb

They will already have a quad lnb as they had Sky+ fitted.

Ignore my deleted reply (im an idiot!), I was thinking of the tv link I have connected to my main sky box as well. Just connect the wire to box and off you go!
