As
soon as Orla (SWMBO) falls asleep I will find out, until then I have no
idea
:)

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 those
£79).
Cheers
Nik
I
picked up a new pace box from currys today for 79.99, they also had two ex
demo nokia boxes for the same price and new grundigs and 'mini' paces for
99.99.

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?
Nik
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
