Replacement Refurb Sky Box - What model likely to be given out

MBSnr · 2013-05-10 12:56:22

Getting my Sky box replaced due to a hardware fault. What box am I likely to get as a refurb from the Sky engineer's van? I have a DRX780 320GB which is 4 yrs old now. I'm hoping the replacement will be an improvement on that and not a straight swap. Any chance of it being a DRX890/895? Anyone got any experience of what…

Anyone got any experience of what refurbs are given out these days?

Ring them up and tell them if you dont get a new box your changing to upc. They're not going to lose a monthly stream of income over the one off cost of a box that they probably get for next to nothing.

It'll be an Amstrad. Other models are too old.

You mean a PVR5 500GB or PVR6 1TB model? The one I have is an Amstrad PVR4 320GB....
