If it's a Sky Q box then no, you can't keep it as it remains the property of Sky and even if you did keep it and pay the non-return fee it would be pretty useless without a subscription.

@AZRNQV  Further to @SlenderRobert  comment, even if you did pay the 'non-return' fee, the equipment STILL belongs to Sky

hi @AZRNQV 

SKY have started to do a subscription called Essentials which is basically SKy Q box but just for the FTA (free to Air)  channels (aka Freesat) that use the Satellites at 28.2E

I am not sure which of the international channels are FTA  rather than needing a full subscription
