RE: (ukha_d) ct 100 cable and Sky digi boxes

Steer clear of the Amstrad boxes - my installer (and Anne Robinson for that
matter!) both say that these boxes break down more often, and are subject
t=
o a
fixed charge of =A3140 to repair, due to the lack of spares available.

A colleague of mine did specify to Sky that he wanted a Panasonic, and got

a
Grundig, so I s'pose that's marginally better!

I did read on this list that Sony were bring a digibox out with a digital

for audio, and allegedly Sky were going to supply these - I'd go for the

given the choice...

It may be of interest... I have just purchased 100m of dct100 cable (black
unfortunately) from B&Q warehouse. It was =A318.48 per roll.. compared
to t=
heir
79p per metre.

I know it has been asked before...What is the best box supplied by sky and
has anyone been able to specify what box they received. I have finally
convinced my good lady to let me get it installed. I already have an
analog=
(
just recently installed) which I will keep in position. As I have heard the
sky installers are fast and not very neat, I will pre run the cables, once

I
cut a hole in the floor....( not as bad as it sounds) and finish the good
lady's cosmetic requirements for some rooms.


Any comments appreciated
