For Sale: Thomson Sky+ box

Rich · 18th January 2007, 19:38

Thomson Sky+ recorder, dead on one year old, absolutely IMMACULATE condition.

Complete with remote again in excellent nick.

Selling as I've cancelled all my Sky subs, so you can't have this till 10th Feb when it all goes off, but stick your name down here and it's yours then

Yours for £75+Postage (or get a free cup of tea if you collect, we've got loads of it!)

Remember, I can't let it go before 10th Feb!

Funnily enough I have just cancelled my Sky sub as well, I got fed up paying £43.50 a month for adverts

so I have switched to Freeview and Freesat I suppose you must have some sort of sub to record any channels?

Rich · 18th January 2007, 22:11

Yeah confirmed.

Sky's costs are just outrageous. You can use this box with freesat provided you pay Sky £10 a month just to subscribe to Sky+ features, pause live tv, record from epg, etc.

Windows Media Center does it for free, go figure?

Not wanting to put off any would-be buyers but just to be sure, PLEASE check with Sky what + type features are available on your current subscription!

I don't want you to buy this then find out you can't use it

Using your Sky system to view the free channels gives you loads of extras over Freeview and Contrary to what sky say you do not need a card.
Due to the Contract arrangements you wont be able to receive CH4,E4,E4+1 etc for another 3 years.
