The amount you paid was for connection.
You can "own" the box - if VM send you a letter saying you can keep it for a fee (I believe the law regards this transaction as a "sale"). However it is utterly useless. It only works with the VM network and VM won't connect any boxes it doesn't own to their network.
Although the box may have been fully-functional when you last tried it. Any attempt to sell it in such as way as might lead the buyer to believe it would function as a PVR
might constitute fraud.
Knowing that it won't function as a PVR (unless VM changes its policy - which is hardly likely), any attempt to sell it would look exactly like an attempt to rip someone off, so what's the point? Any buyer wouldn't be able to use it and would surely pursue for a refund.
