At 99p their pretty good value for electronics parts salvage. The tuners/demodulators especially can be used for some fairly interesting stuff ;)

it's ok saying dump them but some of us can not afford other boxes, my box is on just have not got most of the channels.
I was told to look at a raspberry ( not the food lol ) because that's not dear but not a clue what they was on about and also something
called xbmc , any ideas anyone or do I need to ask this somewhere else on here.

From what i,ve been told the raspberry pi is basically a mini computer that can be converted to stream media (xbmc). Although they are very cheap maybe £30 or so, plus other cables to suit, your not gonna get the sort of things you had on sv.
To be blunt buddy i would dump sv its finished and i know its costly to change to another box but how many subs you gonna throw sv,s way to get nothing in return?
The Raspberry Pi is a computer the size of a deck of playing cards. With your television as a monitor, you can use it like a desktop computer to browse the web, it plays HD video too, so you can also use it as a media centre. But what it is really designed for is computer programming, the OS includes Python and Scratch programming environments which allow users to learn and improve their programming skills. The board has GPIO pins that can be connected to a variety electronic modules, sensors, motors or other control systems and software can be created to perform tasks.

This should be in another thread as we are getting off topic, however, the raspberry is capable of running xbmc (which is basically a media server) but it takes some modification to be able to process a lot of media files as it just does not have the power stock.
They may be little but they pack quite a punch. Probably equal in PC processing terms to something like a 600Mhz Celeron. They run linux pretty well and (with some fiddling) will interface to quite a range of USB based dvb sticks. I've had one running as a front end media box without much problem.
Although it works, its not something i'd recommend though. There are plenty of cheap 2nd hand PC's that are very much more suited to the task of being converted into a media centre.
