Will I get new equipment?
When I get my V+ box and a standard box for the bedroom installed on the 14th, will the boxes be brand new or refurbished?

It all depends on what the engineer has in the van at the time.

They'll be perfectly restored as if they were new... So i don't see the big deal to be honest.
Plus, if one happens to fail after however long, they will replace it free of charge.

Better than SKY (spit..spit ) I guess. After 12 months you have to fork out for any call outs!

And I suppose it's like any electrical item - after the guarantee runs out, it's sods law that it goes wrong...

A bit off-topic, but what does the V+ box look like ?

It is the general idea that they repair them to a state equal to when they were new.

Re: Will I get new equipment?
The engineer who installed my V+ box yesterday said that they don't install old equipment now - all boxes are new....

Well there were no fingerprints on mine, and the protective film was still over the display!

Re: Will I get new equipment?
Had mine installed today. Due at 13.00, arrived 5 minutes early. All new equipment, V+ and Standard box. Very helpful chap, on secondment from Bristol to help with the work load. Took just 45 minutes. He had to phone twice to get things activated. It's impressive stuff!!
