I would of thought on a computer forum people would get the idea that open source (like the PC) is a more flexible than a closed sourse solution like sky plus

I am glad like me you will not become another of rupes suckers
I wonder if you were saying the same thing about NTLs cable modems when they first introduced broadband? You had to buy a piece of computer related hardware that locked you into the service even if your view of it changed in the future.

I suppose that you have a NTL phone line which locks you into only using cable broadband and the few telecom providers they allow who give cheap telephone calls.

The only suckers that I can see are the ones who are too blind to recognise the best bit of kit on the market for watching TV.
