Given that it'll be sod-all use here in the UK, I can't see the point

Very harsh Carl you sound like someone else we know. 
A S2 Tivo may be just the thing to play about with for someone

Somebody might want it for parts, eg the PSU or front fascia. To play about with as Richard says or even to convert to PAL & use as an unsubbed Tivo.
Better that Soundmix sees if it's of any interest to someone rather than sending it to landfill.

Yeah. It was a bit, wasn't it. I could have been a little more subtle. Sorry

To what end? It'll never work as a Tivo

If the Aussies can use an S2 on PAL why shouldn't anyone else just as Brian said an unsubbed box

I'd love to have a tinker with it, but unfortunately it's a long hike from bonnie Scotland so I guess I'll have to pass.

And I'd get my feet wet coming from the mainland to your offshore island

We can't
We can only use an S2 with software version 4.x or lower connected to a settop box that outputs ntsc. We don't have PAL going and software 7+ needs a subscription to phone home to keep working...
If you really wanted something to play with you guys would be better off getting an Australian HD tivo..... (albeit it slightly more expensive than free...)

I must admit that as the Aussies were able to use S2 boxes and their TV system is PAL I had wrongly assumed that there was a hack to get it to output PAL

You could just sit it under your TV and dream of what might have been.

It's a US Series 2. There's a clue there somewhere 
(Ok. More 'harsh'. Sorry. Sarcastic doesn't work well written down  )
