Hi

About 6 years ago I was given the above box from a relative (He was given it free from BT) as he didn't need it as h has already got Sky so he gave it to m for a try.

We had BT broadband at the time and I couldn't get a BT Vision connection so I packed the box up for a while and left it. I advertised it for sale and somebody inquired about it

I plugged it all in and connected it up (we don't have BT BB or a Hub, we have Talk Talk). It connected to the hub Ok but then presented with a C03 error.

Can anyone tell me if i sell it, will the chap be able to get the BT Vision service or not (He as a BT Subscription)

If the box is the old silver one (from the model number i think it is), It will not work without a BT Broadband account and a BT vision account.
The box won't run BTs new software so is obsolete. BT give the new youview boxes away to customers so the old boxes are not really worth anything other than to use the hard drive in something else and throw the box away.

As has been alluded to, the box itself is essentially worthless however you should be able to sell the hard drive on a well-known auction site.

Yes it can but one needs BT Broadband and a BT Vision account in order for it to even boot, let alone receive programmes.

The point is that anyone who has the pre-reqs can get a better box from BT for free. So who in their right mind would buy a BT Vision box?

Now you know what the implications are, that is entirely a matter for you.
