Amazing package at a fantastic price!
I rarely write reviews - unless I feel a product REALLY deserves it. This Sky+HD box is one of those. It was delivered in a double box, very securely packaged, and even arrived early! On opening it, I was extremely impressed with, not only the actual Sky box, but the fact you get absolutely everything you could possibly need with it - the hdmi lead, brand new Sky remote, power cable (even the batteries) ... wow! Now, being technophobic, I worked myself up into a bit of a state - having absolutely no idea where to begin with dismantling my old 15 year old box, then (somehow) getting this new one installed and up and running. In hindsight, I really had no need to worry - it came with clear, easy to understand instructions and, when I needed a little advice, the chap at Chigwell (Richard) could not have been more helpful if he'd tried. So, to sum up - if you're considering buying one of these 2TB (yes, so much memory, I don't think I'll ever be able to fill it) Sky+HD boxes, just go for it! The product and the company are absolutely amazing! Buy with confidence.

Sky box replacement
I knew my old Sky box had “died” and didn’t want to get in touch with Sky customer services as they’re a nightmare so I looked on Amazon for a replacement and this came up first with good feedbacks so I put my trust in them and ordered one, glad I did! Prompt delivery, easy to install, no problems so far so I would definitely recommend.

Rip off!
Sold as "New" & as a 2TB upgrade, neither of which I believe to be the case. Clearly not new, as someone else's 'Favourites' had already been chosen, which I saw when I came to enter my own choices. No batteries included, & none of the accessories were genuine Sky equipment - this was addressed by the seller (Sky Deals) providing genuine parts & batteries for the remote on request. Also, based on the amount of space left on disk (94%), after 8 x 1 hour recordings (non HD), I seriously doubt this is a 2TB box. We have another 2TB box, which uses up much less disk percentage/space per recording. Could have bought a refurbished 500gb box (which this essentially is) for a third of the price. But as it's set up & working well, I can't face the hassle of returning it.Updated after more use, June 2020. Definitely not the upgraded 2TB box. Now not even sure it's a 500gb box, based on percentage used per programme, against size of programme - eg 650mgb programme took up 0.3%, which equates to just over 2Gb of space on the box. Advise anyone against buying from this seller - Sky Deals. It's a shame there is no categoric way to determine the size of the hard drive at time of purchase, or receipt of goods - without taking the box apart that is.

Excellent
Good product that came well packaged and with everything needed. Now have a huge hard drive to record on 2TB and it works so much faster than my old sky box - which was on the verge of dying. Transferring sky card was not an issue - I was a little worried about this. Instructions were clear. Very happy.

Good solid product
The HD satellite signal receiver box is a good solid product. Unlike some SD boxes there is no digital to RF output connector. But otherwise it is good.

Nothing to dislike. The sky box arrived in 4 days. Brand new. My grandson installed it, before the kettle had boiled to make him a cup of tea. Everything worked, I have access to all my channels, can record, play back and pause. Very pleased.

Perfect packaged
The item arrived perfectly packaged and snuggled into two boxes, which is quite important for a delicate electrical machine. Plus we live in the Channel Islands.It is easy to install (so my brother tells me) and works perfectly. I would recommend this company for their quick service. Thank you Richard

Appeared Pre-Used. Works OK but usually fails on Recording Catch-Up TV
Bought as direct replacement for failed box. Appeared pre-used because the card slot was full of dust. Works OK, except that on trying to download catch-up TV it usually fails but only sometimes works. Have now ordered SKY Q box in SKY in black Friday deal. May have to scrap this box then because I will need a new Sky Card. Now clearly old technology. On the basis of my experience, not recommended unless you can buy it sufficiently cheaply as a potential throw-away.
