I tried that too.  All they offered to do was reduce the standard call= -out & fix
fee from =A3100 to =A360.  That's when I figured a years cover for the= same price
was a better deal (or at least the lesser of two evils).

And I'm on the original Amstrad DRX100 box, and they don't get any crappier= than
that!

At the end of the day, SKY being the money grabbing <insert suitable
word(s)> that they are, I think the thought of loosing =A337-00 per mont= h from
someone would "enable" them to find another box, it would probabl= y be crap
but that would then match a lot of what they broadcast !

I don't get this!

Surely if the box is being provided by Sky under the contract it is
effectively a rental and therefore it's up to them to maintain it? Of
course, the dish getting storm damaged is a different story but I would
have thought that the actual equipment would be down to Sky, after the
year you could always cancel the agreement then take out a new one ;-)
