[BNM] [OT]Skyone on freeview

[Jack Moxley]

Don't go sky unless your willing to pay through the nose, for unreliable 
equipment that you own not lease (and believe me when I say thats a bad 
thing) I used to sell extended warranties by warm calling their new 
customers, about 30% had experienced some kind of  major fault before 
they were even called;<RANT>by some poor university student enquiring if 
they were enjoying their service and that not only were they highly 
valued customers but surely they would like to spend money on a 
worthless piece of paper because unbeknownst to them they now owned some 
propitiatory piece of equipment worth £400 quid to replace and hell 
would freeze over before sky would replace it.</RANT>

Rant over.

Jack

P.S. even the v expensive extended warranties don't cover everything.
