Default New Sky Box

Can anyone suggest a good place to look on the internet for a replacement
for my Grundig Sky Digibox?

I would like to replace my current box, as it is a bit knackered. I use it
only to receive the Freesat channels.

I don't want to spend a fortune - no more than £100 on the box.

I would like (not sure if the feature is available) to be able to reorganise
my channels in the listings so the channels I am able to view appear at the
top of the line up - to save me scrolling through dozens of channels I can't
view.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Si.

Hi Si,

You can pick up a second hand box on eBay. Just be careful what you bid for
and try and buy local to see it working.

You can also buy a new box from Sky for around £100.

Sky Digital channel listings are not personalizable. (if that is a word)

Hope this helps,

Bobby

Hi Si!

I am having my Grundig replaced by a refurbished box by Sky on Monday. The
cost will be £65 and it will have a warrantee for a further 3 months.
Considering my dodgybox was installed for £40 six years ago not a bad deal
IMHO.

If you find anything cheaper that suits you, let me know!

I managed to pick up a brand new Thomson for =A335 on Ebay a couple of
weeks ago. There were 5 up for grabs but the seller only shifted 3. Do
a search on this item number 576949014 for a description........maybe
the remaining 2 will appear soon.

You can currently get a brand new box with full warranty from several
mail order suppliers for around £100. Fitting is simple.
