Dickibobboy · 11-12-2005, 21:33

Ragnarok · 11-12-2005, 21:34

I got a quad LNB for my dish to replace the crappy Skyware quad sky supplied.

buy it now abut £25 it was no probs at all.

KianD · 11-12-2005, 22:13

Few FTV cards. Thats about it.

I've got an old Sky analogue card (or multiple, probably) here, if you're looking for more...

silvernet · 12-12-2005, 00:46

At least 10 Sky Digiboxes, numerous normal Satellite Receivers, including some from Germany.

I never buy from dodgy people, only those with a long and good feedback, never had a problem.

I always used Paypal, but now it appears that they are using third party cookies that show up as Spyware, I will not be risking them again.

jeffkey1 · 12-12-2005, 12:23

Several Panasonic boxs used to set my relations up with a FTV setup.

Paid between £20 and £36, plus postage.

Tried to always get complete kits with all the leads and a remote.

I buy the Dish and LNB new from a local installer.

I get my FTV cards from Sky direct. Only £20 with a UK adress.

Not have any problems so far... touch wood.

paulmellers · 12-12-2005, 13:47

I brought a sky box for 50p advertised as completely dead, i was going to rob it for parts, i collected it (local seller) replaced the internal fuse and fired it up! Mwah ha ha ha ha!!!!

I've brought a quad LNB, a normal LNB and various other stuff.

I remember that name..is this the old analogue sat receiver?

Vashta Nerada · 12-12-2005, 18:56

no digital, i think the analogue ones were srx.

ScorpionXxX · 12-12-2005, 19:01

I remember back in the day having to connect an ADX adaptor Box to get channels over number 49 as the SRX400 only had 49 channels

Vashta Nerada · 12-12-2005, 19:04

i had an srx100 16 channels & no remote.

Of course now that we in Europe have ITV and BBC FTA the only reason to buy a 'Sky' Pace DS430N and card is to pick up three encrypted channels (4,5 Sky 3) so I'd sell it quick as possible before everone realises that.

Here in Holland sky boxes and FTV cards used to go for 199 Euro ish per box and 40 ish Euro a card, mind that was back when all BBC's and ITV's were encrypted.

Last purchase off Dutch auction site cost me 7,50 Euro for the box and 20 quids for the card.

You can but a good FTA box here for 100 Euro and get everything except for 4,5 Sky 3 as you can pretty much all over Europe..

Good luck selling though..

Yep, ebay.co.uk - you'll get more if you sell the receiver and card together these days I think, expats don't want the hassle of sourcing and registering a card remotely. Before freesatfromsky I was flogging FTV cards for about £80 each

Don't do so much these days though, saving up for other priorities.
