No power to sky+ Box

Came home tonight and my sky + box has no power at all. I've left unplugged. Sky have said I need a brand new box and contract. Way dearer than current contract. Any suggestions

@Mrswoman33  You could pick up a secondhand box from that well known auction site 

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

There are no new Sky+ boxes - the last ones were made in around 2015. You could buy your own used replacement quite cheaply from ebay etc. Just choose either a model DRX890 or DRX895, as they're the most recent. No need to change your subscription package or sign up to a new contract.

 

Or you could see if you can get a deal from Sky on upgrading to Sky Q?
