Technically SKY own it....

Pretty sure they'll be happy to charge the previous owner for it :)

Not necessarily.

I was told that even if you have one stolen, pay sky for it and then recover it, the box is still skys so there should be none out there that are not skys property

we got burgled a few years ago, they took the decoder along with many other things, got caught by trying to flog it on trademe with the card still installed.

might be worth a call just to let them know its fate

Hah....  they wont pick it up. Might send you a courier bag if lucky.

I had Sky years ago - I lived down the road from their main office and they wouldn't let me drop off the box in person, had to be couriered - to the same address.

Wanted the dish removed - they were going to charge me a removal fee. I said no, its your dish, you come get it, I no longer have a contract with you and I want your gear gone from the property.

Never heard back..... it eventually fell down due to bad weather.

Theyre fast to charge you for getting a service, but try the reverse, and forget it.
