How greedy is this?
I have just had another set top box fitted, I now have four. Two Samsungs and two Paces. I also have a SACM.
Obviously I get them at a subsidised rate else I'd only have two.

See, if I had that, everyone would say I was overcompensating for something
I just have the one STB and that handles my BB. I have thought about another STB for upstairs but I don't want another contract, or installation fees so I make do with walking downstairs If I really get desperate I can watch the TV downstairs and use my laptop, although as a Mac I can't do everyone on it I can on my PC upstairs (write Flash movies, etc).

I now have FOUR and a sacm...beat you!
I live on my own too.
I have long had one in the lounge, one in the bedroom and one in the computer room, but what was missing was one in the dining room. I was often forced to eat my tea in the lounge, which is SO council.....so a fourth box it had to be!

There won't be a new contract for a second box, it's an addition to an existing contract.
Install fee? Technically £25 but you ought to be able to negotiate out of that quite frankly, as you'll be paying £15 a month for the second box.
