    Folks,
    I want to pick up a second hand Sky box to install for the father-in-law. I'll be setting it up to pick up the FTA channels (and the UK FTV later...).

    I've only used a Topfield FTA receiver myself so I've no experience with the Sky receivers. I can see plenty of boxes on ebay etc. but they are lots of different makes... Pace, Grundig, etc.. Is there a 'good one' to for?

    I've had a search here and Pace boxes seem to have a good rep.. Any particular model number?

    Thanks.

    Anything less than 3 years old.
    Older ones may be too slow for software, or tuner / PSU fails also.
