SKY DRX890 SKY+ HD BOX (Renewed)

My Sky + HD Box recently failed. The second input tuner had disappeared. No recording, no channel updates, loss of many Sky Channels. Sky no longer interested in repairs, so few choices other than a Sky Q box. This is great, no doubt, but is more expensive and only offers features I don't need.Chigwell Satellite to the rescue! Speedy delivery, a replacement box of a newer model in excellent condition. All fearures now worked immeciately when connected. The only intervention needed was to press "Select" to relink the Sky card.The box cost under £50. Thoroughly recommend this service. Chigwell Satellite, if you read this, can you extend my warranty, since I don't use Facebook!

Our 15 yr old non HD Sky Box gave up at the weekend. Sky wanted £65 call out fee but i figured it was the box. To be honest we dont watch much sky these days since we got an Apple Box and subbed to streaming services a few years ago. However its handy for a few programs that we like. So i did not want to spend out for a new box and this Sky +HD box seemed a good buy at just over £30 delivered. I was not that bothered if there was a bit of wear either as the box sits in a unit. However this used box looked brand new without a mark. It was well packed and in the box was a new HDMI lead and Power plug. You get some very well written set up instructions but for me it was a simple case of swapping over the 2 boxes. The only thing i had to change was setting the box from a dual LNB input to a single one. My sub card worked straight away. Total set up time 10 mins which inc sitting drinking tea whilst the box config itself. The only thing missing is a Sky remote but i already had a HD version a friend had given me.Overall very impressed for just over £30 much cheaper than calling out Sky or upgrading.

Just what was needed to replace old sky box without subscription that had lost many channels. Works great, easy set up. No remote.

My old sky box died and and although I don’t have sky any more, I needed the box for the free sky channels we were watching, I was a bit nervous about buying a reconditioned box but it’s absolutely perfect, in fact it looks better than my old one. It was very reasonably priced, delivered within a few days and packaged very well. It worked straight away and my original sky remote works perfectly with it. All in all it was an excellent buy, very pleased and would highly recommend.

Packaged well but box dusty and front panel shabby. Amstrad make not detailed in description and I would never have bought .Connected but not able to see lights.Had trouble with coaxial threads , seemed sticky…but maybe my fingers.Phoned Sky as overall not confident , they report box is 14 years old. It has gone back and should be retired

My Sky box stopped working so I ordered one of these. Switched it on and entered my Sky card to activate the regional stations which seemed to work. When watching ITV there’s constant flickering and sometimes no signal at all.

Very happy with purchase

Arrived in good condition, I managed to fit a hybrid LNB to the satellite dish and box works well.
