I'm sure we've all heard of these boxes by now. £30 to £80 to buy online from Amazon or Ebay with hundreds of sports channels, movie streams TV on demand etc....

I first became aware of these about a year ago. Don't have one myself but demand for them seems to have rocketed in recent months. I'd say about 60% of my friends, family and colleagues from work have them. Others who don't have them know about them or plan to get one. These are in the main people who can afford either SKY or Virgin but choose the free route. Not all have cancelled their TV subscription but some have and others have reduced their package.

Thought I'd start a poll to get peoples thoughts on this subject.
