Hi Jeff What's that, some kind of shopping or bidding channel? To be honest, I don't know what half those Freeview channels do, (smile). The TVonics is very good I have to say and worth the dosh.

We aren't subscribed to Sky, so don't need to pay for HD orstuff that is completely inaccessible. I am sure you could get hold of a refurbished box from somewhere. It's a wonder Sky aren't flogging them off themselves? I have never seen the Sky Talker, and obviously wouldn't purchase one now we have the TVonics unit. Like you Damon, I've heard different rumours, but my motto is that if Sky don't want to make their products accessible, why should I subscribe to their services? Same goes with Virgin Media. It's a money-making racket. They tell you that you get "choice". What's choice if you have to take out a stupid package with channels that only broadcast for a few hours per day and have no relevance, just to get the sport or whateverother premium service you are interested in? If it's sport you like, then it's sport you should purchase. If movies are your thing, then you shouldget films. Why do you have to pay extra money for a pile of junk? Grrr!! (smiles).

I was going to buy the SkyTalker at the same time but have heard it doesn't work well with the up market boxes. Any thoughts?
