Jackie,
Needless to say, there is currently no need for a set top box to watch West
Ham, not in the champions League anyway. I can dream though.

Hi David
Thanks very much for the useful update. I don't need another box at the
moment because I use Sky which has AD turned on, and the Netgem which is
still functioning well. I've also got another ordinary box that I picked up
in a sale before our Dixons closed down some years ago. It doesn't have AD,
but is useful for occasions like last night, when I needed to have the
Champions League on every format I could find. So I had Sky showing the
Roma versus Real Madrid game, the Netgem on Scottish TV showing the
Liverpool game (still smiling for that one,) and the spare Freeview box on
ITV 4 for the Olympiarkos versus Chelsea game. Better not forget Five Live
on the radio either ... yeah I know, I'm hopeless (smile.)
You say you have a TV with Freeview carrying AD built-in? I know there are
a lot of TVs now with the AD facility incorporated, but we haven't got that
far yet as I'm hoping our current Sony continues to plod for a while.
Thanks for that though.
