Same for me. £149 for the box is fair enough, and I don't even mind the £3 a month. But the £40 install was a step too far. It doesnt seem much on the face of it, but I've been with this company (through it's many name changes) for years, and the amount of install fees I've paid must run into hundreds. Didn't even get the free install for upgrading from XL20 to XL30 because of my "Loyalty Discount" , even though it's only worth £1.50 a month less than new customers pay after their initial discount period. Saying that, I probably will be taking up the offer because, as DF said, it will only be available for a short while, and I don't think I could justify paying the full price. Yes, I know I don't HAVE to have it, as cast lists, searching by Director etc don't interest me in the least, but I definitely need the extra recording space as we very rarely watch live TV anymore. Some might say "wait for the £49 box" but as far as I'm aware there's been no official announcement on the price or specs, and by the time it's released it'll be too late to take up the 1tb box offer.
