Old Sky Boxes

funkey_monkey · 2019-07-14 10:07:40

Hi, I've got a couple of old Sky boxes (white, no HDD) - is there any value in them or skip them? They are white Pace items, model number DS440N. Date of Manufacture 2006. Good condition. Are they worth anything at all?

Can you tune any channels into them? If so, I'd suggest you would donate them to some charity that would have an interest.

They are good for anyone wanting free setup of UK channels and sky news etc. Pause etc won't work without a sky contract.

They are more trouble than they are worth, IMO.
Big and bulky with limited function.

Basic free to air box, without a sub card they default to UK listings, BBC 1 on 101 etc, epg, updates, etc, put free channels on favourites. I have one in the attic and it works through a magic eye to the bedroom, basic fta, worth very little but well made and reliable, no maintenance involved.
