Hi, long time listener, first time caller ...

... I had Sky for years, never had a new box, they were all refurbs, and I had to argue with customer services every time they came out unless I was prepared to pay them, which I wasn't. I left after THEY told ME that they were fed up of coming out to me for free - and couldn't accept the argument that this was because they provided sub-standard STB's in the first place. I wish I'd done it years ago - on top of several arguments with customer services, I only got a tenner for the sky+ box that was mine to sell, hardly a compelling argument for ownership.

Apologies to Hugh for keeping this off topic - I won't do it again!
