Actually I've found a fly in the system..Seems as an EXISTING customer I will have to pay a monthly fee for a V+HD box and the old man is flat out refusing to pay it.Doesn't mind the £49 installation fee just won't pay monthly.
If we were a new XL TV customer we'd get it for free.

Accordin to the website if you are on XL TV you only pay for the activation and the is no monthly charge, call tomorrow morning and speak to another agent unless Benmcr can shed any light on this.

I pointed out that the VM website is rather misleading over this point.
Would be nice if others pointed out this fact too.Hint,hint.

Yeah, I may have to point this out to her. I think she's had her tablets changed once already.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
It is always nice to hear people being happy. It is a lovely day & the sun is shining for a change. So lets all enjoy it. But wrap up it is cold too.

Turkey I have suffered high blood pressure for more year than I care to remember, and I have had several adjustments/new pills to try and bring it all under control. Please urge your Mum to see her Doc, it really is very important.

So glad you had a nice time. We used to go to Devon quite a lot. It was nice too

Very soon you will wonder how you did without one for so long, what with being able to pause live TV and the ability to record 2 other channels while watching a 3rd, enjoy.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Finished preparing my presentation for a conference next week - means I can have the weekend off.
