Title: Message
OK - sounds like it's a national Dixons offer, then...

I picked up a new pace box from currys today for 79.99, they also had two ex demo nokia boxes for the same price and new grundigs and 'mini' paces for 99.99.

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.

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
