When we moved we left our dishes, satellite box and card at our old house. Thought it would be better to start new. Big mistake. We were given the new HD box which we did not expect until the guys turned up with it to install. Also had to wait 3weeks! Oh well, didn't cost extra and thought the old box was now being fazed out. However, first off, the remote had to go back because it stopped working after a few weeks. Just given a new one no questions asked. I now think it was just the batteries but why so soon? The bigger problem is that the screen regularly freezes and we have to pull the plug and reload. This works but we shouldn't have to do this. If you saw the bored girls in the office (nice lady gone with the old shop in VT) you would think twice about trying to explain this problem.
Lastly, I asked for the extra 'free channels' which we had on the old box which needed another dish (which we kept). I was told it would be another 37levs. That was okay but when I wanted to pay she told me 'not now' and after months nothing has arrived. Not a big problem as all the channels are foreign but some are quite good and we don't have a problem with any of the languages.
I just wondered if anyone has had any of these problems especially with the new HD box and remote?
