home is x2 too expensive at the moment, and has been so for some time.
The buy in needs to be something BIG, but in this tin pot country I
can't see it happening....Any ideas a what might trigger it?

I can't understand why the cable boys didn't use fibre - I can't see it
would have been that much more. Rumour has it the feeds to each area are
anyway.

I've not got it, but my neighbour has. Just installed a Freeview box for
her and got a chance to play with it. Not nearly as good as off air.
Suppose their modulators are cheap and cheerful too.
