Question New Sky Digibox - retailer/cost?

My father-in-law's digibox has just died, can anyone recommend a good retailer for a replacement new box, and suggest a ballpark price range that is reasonable to expect to pay? (on the assumption that going to Sky themselves will involve amputation of an arm and a leg!)

Thanks in advance!

Re: New Sky Digibox - retailer/cost?

New Sky Digiboxes are not easy to obtain since Sky introduced the new "Flow" design. I'd go for a used recent model such as a Pace DS430N, Pace BSKYB2600, Panasonic TU-DSB40 or 50 or maybe a Thomson or Amstrad (allegedly less reliable).
