Liquidators name price for ITV Digital boxes
Former ITV Digital customers may have to pay £39.99 to keep hold of their set-top boxes.
The now defunct company's liquidators, Grant Thornton, are poised to begin the process of sending letters to the customers, informing them of the offer. If the fee is not paid, then the box will have to be returned.
Around 1.1 million boxes are estimated to still be in circulation following ITV Digital's demise earlier this year.
While the pay-TV services offered through ITV Digital have now ceased DTT transmission, the boxes can now be used to pick up Freeview, which offers some 30 radio and TV channels.
