My new TV is black with a tiny silver surround. Sky HD is black with a small amount of silver. Perhaps your kit is out of date now
At least you have your health hey?!
You said you 'bought' a silver one. Did you ring up and say 'Hi, I am ringing to subscribe to the rental of the SILVER TVDrive advertised on your leaflet' ... or was it more 'Can I have a V+ box please' ?
