So if you had a black TV and then got a silver one would Sky come out and replace it free of charge? In fact after the 1st 12 months would they replace it free of charge at all?

Pass. I've used both and can't think of anything that makes the Samsung miles better than the pace boxes.

It depends on your area. From memory if you are in a Langely area (BBC1 is channel 101) it will. If you live in a Bromley area (BBC1 on channel 1) it won't

You will receive whatever the tech has in his van. And if there is nothing wrong with the STB it won't be replaced.
