Hi there,
We as lucky - damm lucky infact - we moved into our new house and as you do - you have a nose aroudn the Attic as you do - there I saw a Silver box and thought, its bound to be a DVD player or something, but to my suprise it was a Sky + Box - WoW lucky as sin.
Ran down the stairs, plugged it in, Rang SKY asked them if they can upgrade me - they said what about a box, I said just found one at our new house, the women said, lucky sod.
So now I have Sky + oh and at the cost of a remote £10 from ebay.
