Replace old Skybox

We have a very old Skybox which needs replacing. I cannot find how to do this without booking an Engineer at £65. Any tips please?

Is this a Sky Q box as they have only been out just over 6 years? You've posted on the Sky Q board). Is it working okay?

Ebay if you want like for like.
Sky haven't made those boxes for many years and won't offer you a replacement. The only option with them is to upgrade to Sky Q.

Ebay is your best bet. Look for a DRX890 or DRX895 model, as they're the most recent (although at least still 5/6 years old).

Or see if you can strike a good deal with Sky to upgrade to Sky Q, if that's an option for you.
