LeazesMag 0 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I have a sky +HD box in the house, it was given to me about 18 months ago by someone who upgraded and didn't need it anymore. I never used it, and now I don't have sky and don't intend to get sky again, am wondering if it is useable, it doesn't have a card in it. It is just the box, including the packaging box but both are in VGC and look like new. Is this any good ? Can I sell it on ebay and someone can use it without the card, or is it useless without the card ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3992 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Plenty available on eBay. I bought one with a bigger HD for more recording last year and just used my existing card. All the buyer needs to do is phone them and pair the card with the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 3992 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 If you don't mind a bit more technical info it will go for a bit more if it has component output - look for 3 round sockets on the back which are red, green and blue coded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26770 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Isn't the hard drive now worth more than the actual box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeazesMag 0 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) this is the model. As I say, I binned sky 2 years ago, I've never used this rcvr so don't really know the spec of it [unless the spec is the same as this ebay model] http://www.ebay.co.u...84#ht_500wt_949 Edited April 4, 2012 by LeazesMag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeazesMag 0 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 high density? ok, it must be the wrong box, but it is a sky anytime with a hard disk though isn;'t it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 35346 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 You can use it as a Freesat box, although I think using Freesat for sky carries a charge with it. You would need your dish to still be up too. If you have Virgin or whatever though then that's pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
