He's not gone mad with the money yet, only buying his wife a new car. He is looking into pursuing other business oportunities.

Interestingly, the existing Smallworld PVR can record up to four channels with it's dual tuner!

Edit: Just remembered that he once said that Disney no longer wanted to supply their channels to such a small company and he had to take tnem off. It wasn't too small for VM not to bother with was it! In any case, the only 'work' that Disney had to do was collect the monthly payments!
That's Disney for you think they are better than they actually are. It'd be helpful if their channel was even worth watching in the first place lol.
