omg finally got a vm box on fleabay.bidding was mental,kept losing bids or seller pulled sale,got a samsung v-box same as have in other bedroom with card etc,bought at 11am and guy has posted already,and left feedback,found a good seller at last on fleabay,it cost me £10.50+£5 post.edit:and last night put in a bid on another box this time i got it for £2.20 and i did not realy want it,a Virgin V+ box and smart card and hdd.hard drive will come in handy.

ok sorted,pulled a fast one with vm,called to give 30 days notice,as sky was giving me a deal 20mb broadband phone and tv with 2 boxes-1 for bedroom,£38 a month.so chatting away to girl,told her had spare vm box that wanted in kids bedroom,she said if we activate it will you stay with us,said yes,she tried to activate for 20 mins,no go,so she said we will work out a deal for you,i said give it to me,give you 30mb broadband instead of 10 you have,phone with free weekends,m+ tv with sky channels,new hd box and new hub,plus the vbox i have will be put in kids room,no engineer charge, for £34 a month,i thought about it for 5 secs,yes.
considering paying £32.40 for 10mb broadband,no tv (freeview channels only) and basic phone line.
think i came out on top.
