Sky+ Box - any use when contract ends?

[TheSpottedZebra]

Bits of a basic question on Sky - what happens with the box when you end the contract?

I think you keep it, right? But is it of any use?

I take it that you can't use the to record anything and can't watch the things that have already been recorded. And I don't think I need it to get my tv through, as we have an aerial...

You can use it to view Freesat channels - if you buy a (one off) Freesat card from Sky you can view the encrypted freesat channels.

If it is in good working order you can sell it, we have replaced ours once or twice with secondhand ones when they've packed up.

Ooh, thanks both!
It is in good order, I wonder what it would fetch...
