What to do with old Sky box?

cr1mson

Have an old Sky box from when we got a new HD one last year. Kept it but but not sure why? So my question is what can I do with it? Sell? Tip? Use? Freecycle?

TIA.

Sky will take it off your hands.

I asked them too when we got new box but they said it was mine to keep!

Dan-Dan

keep it somewhere safe and out the way for when the day comes yours blows up and is out of warranty , it`ll see you through till you work out how best to proceed

I have a Sky+ version one (bought the first week Sky+ was launched to the public in 2002)
Is this worth anything ? Or just historical junk?

Have a look on eBay, I bought two used Plus boxes and fitted new larger hard drives a few years ago. Plenty of people looking for secondhand plus boxes.

I was more interested if it might be something of interest to a collector perhaps. It's fairly useless as a decoder these days, it'll still receive (and record) Sky, but it's stuck with the old EPG which is not supported or updated anymore.

Hard to believe I paid £300 for this box (12 years ago!) and £10 a month ongoing for the recording facilities!

The price paid for being an early adopter of new (cutting edge) technology.
