V+ box - safest place to get hold of one?

[sideysid]

Hi guys,

I'll need a V+ box for my sister when she moves next week, but I was wondering wheres the best place to get hold of one.

Surely if its a subbed box, where do the sellers on Ebay get hold of them?
Obviously even though Id use a noise blocker for tb on the line, I prefebly wouldn't want a knocked off one, as surely VM will have it on their records, and that must be the same as just modding your own subbed box in their eyes?

Cheers

the only one u will get will be 'knocked off'. The boxes remain the property of the cable company forever!!

I suppose so

How much is a fair price to pay for V+ with BK and IRD all in?

u can ask a cable engineer mate if u see a van on the road....they usually sell it for like £150-£200

Thats so pricey!
I'd love s decent HD box though, I'm gona subscribe for one when they sort out the on demand and free HD channels. unless anything better comes along that is!

I've been offered one via Ebay (after it was swiftly removed) for 140 +20 delivery with BK and IRD so that sounds ok...
