Are you actually getting this service for free? I thought it was £4 a month...

Are you getting these services? I asked VM last week and was told it was not possible to get an analogue set top box.

The duck was hobbling last week, but they have fixed the "squishing" problem. The actual sound and image now look very good ... so the duck is no longer lame.

How do you know there are "few remaining users"?

How do you know that I, or others, will upgrade to "modern digital TVs"? I'm happy with my old CRT.

If VM and the users are content with the status quo, then why not keep the status quo?
