How greedy is this?
 
I have just had another set top box fitted, I now have four. Two Samsungs and two Paces. I also have a SACM.

Obviously I get them at a subsidised rate else I'd only have two.

How greedy is this?

See, if I had that, everyone would say I was overcompensating for something :)

I just have the one STB and that handles my BB. I have thought about another STB for upstairs but I don't want another contract, or installation fees so I make do with walking downstairs :) If I really get desperate I can watch the TV downstairs and use my laptop, although as a Mac I can't do everyone on it I can on my PC upstairs (write Flash movies, etc).

I now have FOUR and a sacm...beat you! :D

I live on my own too.

I have long had one in the lounge, one in the bedroom and one in the computer room, but what was missing was one in the dining room. I was often forced to eat my tea in the lounge, which is SO council.....so a fourth box it had to be!

There won't be a new contract for a second box, it's an addition to an existing contract.

Install fee? Technically £25 but you ought to be able to negotiate out of that quite frankly, as you'll be paying £15 a month for the second box.

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: Do you think that maybe they have to many in the warehouse and they need to ship them out, so that their figures look right?
