Recommendations for Sky+HD Box

Ive just ordered Sky Broadband and I am looking at getting a new Sky+HD box (probably off ebay) so i can get Anytime +
My current box is a Black Thomson SkyHD box but im told its no good for Anytime +
Is there any models that people recommend or models to avoid?

 

Is there any reason why you don't just get a free replacement from Sky?

 

Any reason why you haven't got a replacement ages ago?
There's only one model to choose from anyway, in two versions one with 500gB drive, one with 1.5tB.

 

really? my bro-in-law phoned up to get sky BB and anytime + enabled and Sky told him they wanted £150 for the new

if i phoned up to say my current box is faulty, wouldnt they try and sell me a new one?

 

Possibly, but you just ring again until you get a free one!

(You clearly haven't done a search (as requested in the rules), or you'd know the Forum motto: PPP.)

Good luck!
