Default Sky + HD Box value ?
It's 12 months old and has been faultless
But does it have any value on the secondhand market?

As a Sky engineer I can say a big YES, people will snap it up for multiroom instead of paying a premium for a 2nd hd box

If the NDS starts with a 4F it's a good one too!

I bought two of eBay as mine packed up, obe was £30 and the other was £35


Two week later I received a letter from sky informing me that I was one of the first to have HD and as I had been a customer for a while they were giving me a new HD box

If its only 12 months old then it should be the 250gb compact version!

Didn't mean it like that matey! I should be careful how I write things in future if people jump on my dielect that quickly, jeez! Glad your happy with the service! At the end of 2010 we hit our 10 million customer target so now Skys focus is now turned to customer retention, hence why you got the upgrade!

Not worth paying £10 then, it's great if you have kids etc.. You will like the 1tb, looks very sexy compared to the standard +hd's!

Lol! Fair one, give them a call and see what they can do for you, they might be able to re-jig some pricing and maybe lower your HD subs for x amount of months! Obviously we have frozen prices till sept next year so there's no chance of it going up!
