RE: [ukha_d] DigiBoxes for £79.99

["Nikola Kasic" <nikola@xxxxxxx>]

So Graham,
How many free channels you'll receive. (or already do) with that box.
I live in a block with cable TV, but I cannot choose packages nor
channels,
it's all part of a service charge. I have something like 10 channels (5
terestrials, BBC Choice, CNN, Sky News, Chinese TV, Al - Jezeera and
that's
it). I cannot put a dish on the outside walls, neither get other cable
company, so this is the only way for me to get some extra channels
(although, I think that most of them will be crap - but they are free
apart
>from
Cheers
Nik

If you're local Dixons is doing them for £80, then use, get one... I'm
not
sure whether that's a national offer, or a local special in the
Trafford
centre. (You could, of course, ask your local Comet to price-match!)

The expectation is that the pricing for these boxes will firm up at
around
the £100 mark for the next few months. 

The "interesting" question is those who have not _bought_ their
Digiboxes.
The receivers could still claim the receivers, IYSWIM :-) Unlikely
though,
since the cost of collection is probably too close to the second-hand
value
of the boxes.

It seems that they redistributed ITV digital's licences to BBC and sky
so
these boxes will be able to pick up 27 free channels. Is that true?
Should I then run and try to pick up one of them from Dixons, before
they
realize that they can still be useful?

Hi all..

I'm a newbie on the list, been lurking for a week or two and have
already
missed the TiVo blitz because I was on holiday and now the Pronto from
RS for £99 because the advert was in last months magazine .. I thought
you guys said this list would cost me money :) Seriously, does anyone
have
the avert/magazine still.. at £99 I'd get one today :)

FYI the DIXONS shop in the Trafford Centre Manchester are selling the
(defunct) ITV digital boxes for £79.99. At that price I was seriously
tempted to pickup another one for the bedroom. Since ITVDigital
stopped broadcasting the number of channels has reduced but it does
provide me with a way of getting a true widescreen signal for free to
air
stuff without subscribing to $ky :)

I have also noticed that people on this list seem to reply to posts
without
cutting off all the quoted text.. on all other email lists I've
subscribed
to this has been a major no no, and only relevant short extracts are
allowed
to be quoted. I must admit it makes the reading of the daily digests
very
difficult to navigate... surely I cant be the only person who has a
problem
with this.. and I would urge everyone to think about trimming off all
the
redundant text before hitting that "send" button.

Thanks.

Marcus
