Hallo.
Speaking as someone who has to wait until things electrical actually fail before getting anything new I thought I'd add an observation.
I wanted a V+ for ages BUT didn't want to pay the £149 price tag for installation.So I waited and waited,waited some more.Carried on waiting and eventually as my TV was crocked and I needed a new one so we went HD..At this point I decided to get the V+ box as the installation fee had dropped to £49.I also got the HD version for far less than I would have paid way back when.
So those of you who don't want to pay well why not just wait until the price comes down as it inevitably will.No consolation for the I want the very latest gadget yesterday brigade but then they are usually the ones who pay the upfront price anyway.
