You know how I said we got Sky Plus a few weeks ago? I sang it’s praises, told everyone about it… Hell, they should be paying me for it!

Anyways, today, poor little blighter, choked at the end of a recording, and then poof, in a cloud of smoke, its little soul left for electronics heaven (is that where all the calculators go?). Imagine if it went to electronics hell, it would probably sit there in the middle of thousands of NTL boxes!

So we’ve called the tech support and they’re sending an engineer around on Saturday to replace it. We’ve asked for a new box, so hopefully this won’t happen again!

Oh the quirkiness of technology!

… Awaiting your comments, Neil.

    Sky plus boxes should not be exposed to temperatures below -20C or above 50C, and should not be left in direct sunlight. I think if you sleep with the sky box in your bed, it invalidates the warranty so you’re just asking for trouble

    But it was getting scared alone at night, we were just taking care of it…

    We’ll hold a vigil on Saturday and pray for its soul. It was so young and innocent, it didn’t deserve to choke and die, losing all those precious movies I still hadn’t watched…
