What do do with Sky+ HD equipment

[markwilliams82]

Got Virgin installed now and the Sky+ HD box & wireless modem uninstalled and gathering dust...any ideas what I can do with? Are they mine to sell? Would rather get something for them than have them lie around gathering dust. Am I allowed to do this?

Because I've got Virgin installed the dish has also been taken down, whats the best thing to do with this?

Do Sky ever want any of it back?

Set it up in another room and use it as a freesat box.

Any reason why you changed from sky for virgin ?

also sell the gear on the bay

Cheaper and better internet services, plus I kept having poor reception on Sky.
Am I allowed to sell the equipment on the bay? Is it all mine now?

I've taken the Sky dish down from the house so I won't be able to use it will I??

Probably the only option is to sell it if you don't have good reception and the equipment is taken down.

I don't believe you can use the PVR functions anyway without a subscription - I tried it on an old Sky+ Box and couldn't - making it a totally useless thing, if the PVR worked it'd be worth keeping.

If I sell it all on the bay, do I need to remove and keep the viewing card I was issued? or would this need to go with the box?

Its paired with the box and the buyer will need it to view FTV channels.

Apparently I have no clue

I didnt know whether the card would be linked with my (old) sky account.

i'd keep it just in case, sky might ask for it back. when i switched from virgin to sky, i threw the box away and got billed for it. doh!
