Re: Hospital charges for TV and Phone

We thought it was pretty reasonable.

That's similar to the hardware my mum had. The only difference being that she had access to the five terrestrial channels, and a couple of others. Judging by the interferance on all channels, it was an analogue signal (bad quality too), was charged at least £3 a day for it.

Internet access was charged by the minute, and the phone charges (both incoming and outgoing) were horrendous.
