Noooo! :Yikes: I didn't mean to incite 'direct action'. Now he'll key your car, you'll poison his cat, he'll cut down your Leylandii on that disputed property boundary, you'll torch his house ... where will it all end! :shocked:

Which all goes to prove that too much TV breeds violence! ;)

Well, I had TV(L) and Phone (L) and 10 meg BB along with V+ and an additional box. I asked the nice lady at VM if I could upgrade for the price online and she said that it was only for new customers. I told her that I really wanted to upgrade to TV(XL) because I wanted the additional HD channels along with Phone (XL). She put me on hold for quite a while then came back and said I could have the lot (inc the boxes I had) for less than I was paying already, although I did include in my calcs the average p/m I was paying for my daytime phone calls. But in the end it all worked out cheaper.

What can I say................I'm a smooth talking son of a ......................... . I deserve this price I've been with them for eons. :D

P.S. the police along with a VM van have just pulled up to my neighbours house and arrested him. A pin was seen to be placed in a plastic bag by the nice policeman as they departed. :shocked:

No prints or DNA on that pin I hope. :erm: Criminal damage to VM property may be a more serious offence than theft of service. :nono:

I take it you mean Channel 533 not 553. So ESPN America will be replaced?

I take it you mean some areas rather than same (which is kind of the opposite of what you are trying to say).

People asking for Five HD in the next batch of channels will be disappointed. Five HD isn't broadcasting til 2nd half 2010 *at the earliest*!
