If it was me, I'd make it fail so that I got a black one as a replacement! Reminds me of the gold coloured AV amps that Yamaha did a few years ago, and makes me shudder.
Well done to VM though. Prooves that the 'Tivo Whingers' who used to frequent the VM Tivo forums, were wrong.

I assume they provided a pair of sun glasses to go with it. Or maybe VM are a step ahead fasion wise and gold is the new black?

Lol wouldn't worry.. When they received the order, whether it was a 500 or 1Tb probably didn't matter because they probably just picked it off the warehouse shelf the night before and took a can of gold metallic spray paint to it.
Also they say he "installed it"
But truth is he probably just stood there while an engineer installed it and all he did is screw the coax cable into the back and plugged it into power socket.. Somehow can't imagine Martin kemp yielding a hammer drill, while kneeling on the floor in a suit drilling trough a brick wall then stripping coax cable ends and fitting connectors.. Unless it was an upgrade of course lol
In which case.. Wonder how he would of got on if vm were still running their move v+ box for free offer... No idea if that's still running or not, and homeowner said they wanted box moved upstairs.. He woulda been up a ladder then clipping cable to the walls in a suit! Now that's a photo for the press.. Lol Brick dust covering his expensive suit... Then he really could if said he installed it personally.
