They were probably unaware of the change by Sky.  If they were selling the box with no mention of pairing then it's not really their issue anyway.

That would be the key.  The boxes can be legitimately sold as working Freesat boxes. Only if it was advertised as being able to be paired with a Sky viewing card (which seems unlikely) would there be any comeback on the seller.

That all depends on who the seller was ... and how the box was bought🤔

can you just put a blank hard drive in or do it need sky stuff to work?

My Sky+ HD Box just died completely.  So have just purchased the eaxct same model refurbished.  I have popped my card into the new box.  So I just need to quicky pair the card to resume access to sky.  Need it to watch the F1 this weekend.  Whats the pairing procedure?

Thanks

Your card is locked to your old box, you can no longer get a card for a replacement box. You'll need to move to Sky Q,  Sky Glass or Sky Stream. Sky+ is no longer supported

Your viewing card can not be paired to a different Sky+ box so you would either need to upgrade to Sky Glass, Stream or Sky Q.

You need to try to get your money back because what you were hoping to achieve won't be happening.
