My Sky picture was awful tonight. Cunningham looked like a big fat weeble, saints looked like they were playing in slow motion and two of their tries contained passed that looked a mile forward. It also made the supporters look like like recruits for fat camp and gave the impression that no-one actually turned up to watch the game.

Oh, hang on......

1 win and you cant keep the kids from the special school off here ......

But he does have a point.

Back to the original topic, coincidentally I came across this in the Grauniad [urlhttp://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2010/apr/10/energy-saving-lightbulbs-virgin-media[/url - seems to affect Samsung boxes. Just a thought.

I have had many problems since starting a sky+ subscription 5 years ago. I am now on my 4th box. Every time you get a reminder about warranty, make a note of it. within one month your box will start sticking more often and eventually be stuck on standby. Sky try to charge £68 for an engineer and a replacemnet (which loses all your saved programmes). But when i mention that i am going to go to the press about the link between end of warranty and failure, I get it free. Inconvenient, but no extra cost!!

Sky must make millions from this when people shell out their £68!!!

Can Sky do it on purpose ? I mean since i agreed to switch to HD (albeit i'm getting 12 months free) the box is now working fine although on the odd occasion it goes on standby.

Co-incidence? I think not!

The customer service person i spke to said that it was impossible for them to do anything to my box, but when i asked why it nees to be connected to a phone line she said that it was so they can conduct updates. When i then said that technically they could "update" my box to not work, she backed down and offered me the freebie tech visit
