Hurrah !!!
They obviously have a choice of colours.
What I object to is having to have a non matching piece of kit.
 
I knew bits would be missing though. :-(
 
I once bought a Thorn Satellite receiver when the DER shop was closing down.
Remote was missing but as it was made by Pace I already had several originals plus a couple of universal remotes. they said they would try to find the remote when they cleared the stockroom.
 
Paid my £45-00 quid and declined the offer of an extended warranty.
About 2 weeks after the shop closed I rang the helpline and told them I hand been sent the remote and they sent me a brand new one. Just before the 12 month warranty was up I was offered the chance to take out an extended guarantee for a further 12 months for ONLY £79-00.
 
Obviously I didnt take it, and about a year later sold the system to someone for £80-00  :-))

I took the plunge!
The Manuals are missing but the remote is there. I have a Pronto which should have no problem with the Philips TV. they said that they will have to dig out the rear speakers for me. Not much of a problem either as I run a Dolby Digital amp anyway. There is a mark on the front left of the unit but not so much as to worry me. The wife might complain but when I tell her I got it £250 cheaper then she might not notice the mark anyway. 1 year in home warranty so it is not that bad a deal!
 
BTW for Ian and Keith - it is BLACK!!!!
