SKY+ box but no Anytime TV

DFS UTD

Hi - I've a SKY + subscription but no Anytime TV.

I rang Sky - they said I have an old Sky + box and it is not compatible with Anytime TV. The only way I could get Anytime TV would be to buy a new Sky + box at c.€199 plus I'd have to pay for installation (even though I'd only need to swap boxes) at another €49!!!!

Is there any way around this. Could I buy a sky+ box on ebay, and if so what model would I need!

Thanks;)

Yea, you could buy a Sky+ on eBay.

Generally, the newer version SKy+ boxes with the (IMO useless) Anytime feature are commonly referred to as "PVR3". I'd recommend the Pace TDS470N.

Dozen Wicked Words

I bought a 160 gb (80 you can use), Amstrad DRX280 (reviews aren't great for reliability, but mine works. I think there are more reliable models but not sure of make etc see edit box).

Paid about 30 quid on ebay I think and Anytime works

i recently upgraded my second box to HD... and i still have the old sky+ box under the stairs... you are more than welcome to have it if you can arrange collection / delivery.
