Not so if you are already a customer it is £199 for the box and £30 for the installation and you still have too have the HD PACK for each box at £9.75 a month!. Hope it helps you all out. OH FU*K :lfo .

I have HD already and as such it will cost too much for the 31 channels which is available at the moment!.

in theory we should be under less pressure to deliver by the end of
the month,as they should really be that months edition.
murdoch could have saved himself a bob or two as i think they were
all 2nd class.
We had to take all of them, :evil/mad :evil/mad :evil/mad also it looks like they have gone back to monthly instead of every 2 months :mad
I thought they had gone to 10 issues a year

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Got mine saturday morning, with two days to deliver. Took those I was going to anyway (about 75%), then monday, another 50 or so turned up. Took them all out, and whats happens? Today (tues) get even more! Just been on this walk a month so these are the first Sky mags I've done. Seems every house has Sky :(

My sky mags are still under my frame. Where they will be staying for the considerable future :whistle

so were mine, i left the lot :crazy:
took where I was going and will take rest on Monday - although boss said we have till Tuesday. We do have a meeting to discuss various disagreements we are currently going through wonder if thats why they are being so nice. Sorry cynicism is part of my nature.
