Well, he threw the first one away (i.e. a brand-new Samsung TiVo), tried a second one, still wouldn't complete the 'connect' phase, changed various bits of cabling in the house (splitter, cable from that to the box), went and changed bits at the street cabinet, called in his manager, he came round, redid all that the engineer had done ("just to be on the safe side" [?]), etc., etc., finally said "Well, we've got 14db now" which apparently was a Good Thing as they'd started off with 1db (means little to me), still wouldn't work, so...

"We're going to refer it up to IT, sir," and goodnight all.

Just been on to Virgin who are now pursuing the installation team to find out who-what-why.

I used to have a nice V+ box (yesterday morning). Now I have BBC1 etc.

Oh well, I can catch up on my reading.
