breathless   10 #1 Posted March 22, 2012 If I bought a used sky hd box from eBay would I be able to subscribe to sky with that box or would sky have to send me a new one. Reason I ask is that I want to take advantage of an offer they've got for customers who've recently left them but when I left them last time I sold my box on eBay so if I bought a second hand one would I be ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

amy 20 Â Â 10 #3 Posted March 22, 2012 I think you get a new box from sky anyway, as you buy the box with your subscription. If your on virgin then you ren the box from them, hence the free repairs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Twiglet   10 #9 Posted March 22, 2012 A second hand box works just fine You have to call them to get the viewing card paired to the box, and this can take a few calls and a bit of patience, but there's no problem with using another box.
