Years ago some guy working at the US embassy asked a similar question on Cheesemonkeys.com

He wanted 7 TVs installed in his house and was whining about the minimal charges, eventually everyone was calling him out so much he stopped posting

No wonder they get danger pay, haggling with a TV technician to save $1 can turn dangerooz.

Yeah, cool, except that here we're talking hundreds of dollars in attempted ripoff for installation - systemic, intentional, and repeated. Including the installer literally running away when caught out, and the office calling to ask if he could complete the job the following day at the correct rate.

Onetv changed my box at no cost when it was time to renew the one year contract.
The newest box has a build in VCR that I find very handy.

I got OneTV about a month ago. $100 for aerial, box, installation and 80 channels for 12 months. The box has a PVR capability if you plug in a USB stick but I've not tried it.

The service was unavailable for about 6 hours one day. Most of the channels are utter shite, same as on PPCTV or CCTV. The EPG is basic. The box gets pretty hot, will let you know if it lasts a year...

SC, can't you just ask God these questions?

Or are there some things even he doesn't know?

I wonder why He loves -you- but apparently He does. :D

I would feel WAY more comfortable with that 'love' thing if Dog was a hot chick.
