You can end up with one if you have been burgled, put a claim in and pay sky their exorbitant amount for the box out of insurance, and then it turns up abandoned down the back of the garden and sky and the insurance company cant be bothered to sort it out or recover it.
You could probably go through a process of reengineering the code and flash it so that it could be used as a DVB-S QPSK tuner to receive Freeview. The SD channels on Sky are basically the same as the Freeview satellite channels.
But you wouldn't end up with the MHEG EPG and it's much less hassle to buy a cheap sat box from the warehouse... what are they now? $80??
