Re: Digibox SOS!

They could be on to something, what if NTL boxes could send out distress calls, it would save a call to cs

Freeview box calls for help !!!

This could be brilliant for the old and infirm. If you have an accident just let your Freeview box call out the RAF !!

The Register have a different slant on it though !
