LOL!... if you say so!... not gonna go there, or someone somewhere is gonna start crying about me being off-topic again and the nasty man gonna slap my wrist and stop me posting!

God people, calm down...

If NTL said they'd give you a free upgrade in August and it happened now, you'd all be happy. They aren't even out of their time bracket and people are moaning.

On an entirely unrelated note... East London, Samsung STB has been done.
