Hi Mark,

are these still available, I am very interested in the Sky+ Box as one of ours has died. Does it come with all of the orignal packaging, remote control, cables, viewing card etc?

I'll take that for £35inc if its still available so long as it includes the remote as well.

I am still interested in this and offer the £35 asking, providing my previous questions are answered...

Hi there, do you still have the sky plus box? i am based in manchester so no need to post. how old is the unit and price for collection?

[moo_2002]

I currently have a standard sky set up.
Can i just plug in a sky+ box to activate plus feature?

sorry to post on a classifieds, just seems relevant - and is a free bump...

thanks, Keith

sorry for the slow reply guys, been moving house hence the boxes for sale, and its been a bit hectic.

All accessories are with it, the box has just turned 12months old and i havent had any problems with it.

I'm not sure how viewing cards work, our contract has expired so i assume the viewing card won't work anymore? if it still gives access to the basic channels then i can leave it in no problems. As far as i am aware you would just need to ring sky and get your card synched to the new box for it to work?

With regards to getting the sky+ fucntionality, you need two feeds from the dish to watch and record two programmes simultaneously, but i believe it works fine with one feed for recording and the anytime stuff but not for two things at once. The sky+ service is now free, so i assume all you would need to do is tell sky you have upgraded the box.

As i took so long replying, i'll let darthballs reply, and if he doesnt want it, it goes to djayyy.

Thanks

Mark
