Need a replacement Digibox

It's gonna cost £65 for a callout and repair of my Digibox, which is nearly 50% of the cost of a new one from Sky (£140).

So I may as well get a new one. Can I get a new one from a 3rd party dealer any cheaper, than what Sky is asking?

Unlikely. BskyB let you have them at virtually no profit. See

A used Digibox would be cheaper. Or a repair. Why do you want a new one?

£65 is your best option your more likley to pay around £200 for a new box,or go s/h.
