Lost of bbc on 2 digi boxes

Got 2 digi boxes that can't get bbc anymore. Cannot upgrade to sky q as tv's too old. The other sky boxes still accept bbc. Can the 2 boxes be upgraded to Hd?

@man2  Sky stopped offering Sky+HD boxes years ago, if Sky Q isn't an option then you'll need to source Sky+HD boxes from the likes of ebay for around £30

 

Look for models DRX890 & DRX895

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

You can replace them with HD boxes you purchase secondhand

 

DRX890 or DRX895 models are the ones to look for

 

If your TV is too old, has no HDMI socket, then you could purchase a new TV then upgrade to Sky Q etc...

Thanks for that. Will the existing sd viewing card work in the refurbished Hd box?

The viewing cards work in any Sky satellite box, you just need to pair the card to the replacement box
