If you're local Dixons is doing them for £80, then use, get one... I'm
not sure whether that's a national offer, or a local special in the
Trafford
centre. (You could, of course, ask your local Comet to price-match!)
The expectation is that the pricing for these boxes will firm up at
around the £100 mark for the next few months.
The "interesting" question is those who have not _bought_ their
Digiboxes. The receivers could still claim the receivers, IYSWIM :-)
Unlikely though, since the cost of collection is probably too close to the
second-hand value of the boxes.

Subject: RE:
[ukha_d] DigiBoxes for £79.99
It
seems that they redistributed ITV digital's licences to BBC and sky so
these
boxes will be able to pick up 27 free channels. Is that
true?
Should I then run and try to pick up one of them from Dixons, before
they realize that they can still be useful?

Hi all..
I'm a newbie
on the list, been lurking for a week or two and have already
missed the
TiVo blitz because I was on holiday and now the Pronto from
RS for £99
because the advert was in last months magazine .. I thought
you guys
said this list would cost me money :) Seriously, does anyone have
the
avert/magazine still.. at £99 I'd get one today :)
FYI the DIXONS
shop in the Trafford Centre Manchester are selling the
(defunct) ITV
digital boxes for £79.99. At that price I was seriously
tempted to
pickup another one for the bedroom. Since ITVDigital
stopped
broadcasting the number of channels has reduced but it does
provide me
with a way of getting a true widescreen signal for free to air
stuff
without subscribing to $ky :)
I have also noticed that people on
this list seem to reply to posts without
cutting off all the quoted
text.. on all other email lists I've subscribed
to this has been a
major no no, and only relevant short extracts are allowed
to be quoted.
I must admit it makes the reading of the daily digests very
difficult
to navigate... surely I cant be the only person who has a problem
with
this.. and I would urge everyone to think about trimming off all
the
redundant text before hitting that "send"
button.
Thanks.
Marcus
