Default Bloody virgin

Well since th elast post internets been fine, touch wood (pats head). we've had problems with teh box beore and were on our 3rd one, untill last weekend that was, now the new one is playing up, within 24 hours of it going in.

we had our 5th different one put in at the weekend, second of the day. been having problems with it freezing, smart card not regestering, suddenly rebooting istelf etc.

enginer rolls up, yeah box is nackered, so put a new one in, sets it up, wont connect to the on demand, text, red button etc. so that box is nackered, take it out puts another brand new one in, No 5. all good this time. till the next bloody day, the new box is freezing and crashing now.

starting to get sick of them and thinking about siwtching tv to sky now.

problem is its gonna be alot more money, how do folks find sky?
