What to do with an unwanted digibox?

    Anyone got a suggestion for what to do with an unwanted digibox, remote & Irish viewing card?

    The situation is: I'm selling my house (which has Sky Dig) and moving with the girlfriend (who also has Sky Dig ;) ), so we don't need the 2nd digibox.

    Question is -

    1) I've had Sky for over a year now, so is it true to say I "own" the box now & can do what I want with it?

    2) I know I could set the 2nd box up in the new house to watch 2 separate channels, but is this a hassle to do? (How expensive or fiddly is it to install a new LNB etc.? And will I have to pay 2 Sky subscriptions?)

    3) If I decide not to use the 2nd digibox, is it something that I could flog? If so what's the going rate??

    It's a silver Grundig box, just over a year old, perfect working order. Includes remote & Irish card like I said. :)

    Any advice appreciated!

    Not without a FTV card. Worthless otherwise

    Worthless until RTE go on. I wouldn't sell yet. Wait to see what way RTE becomes FTV on Sky. You then have a much more interested market - Irish Ex-pats in UK and Northern-Europe.
