I was offered just under £100 as a one off fee for the new box, where it is delivered to me and I swap it over myself (needs to be close to superhub).

There's no way to copy over recordings which means I need to delay upgrade until after new year anyway, so I asked about availability if I were to ask for one now and while looking he said "we've barely booked any V6 yet as it's only been out a few weeks" and "the box codes have not loaded onto the system correctly yet". After much button tapping and some tutting the earliest date I could get one was mid February.

Sounds good to me, coincides with my annual contract bartering. Although this time I might just take their excellent internet and use the numerous IP TV services I already subscribe to instead.
Does this mean that Quickstart has now started for the V6?
