Today the "Sky man" comes to replace our LNR and receiver with 2-channel ones so we can watch one satellite channel and record another simultaneously. This is actually a free upgrade to deploy (disabled) HD capability. Then they can turn it on for "taster weekends" in their hope that we will subscribe to HD (not likely). Fine print - we must commit to another 12 months of existing SD subscription (for us already a given).

(We already have four other recorders and can record six channels of DVB-T simultaneously. Suprisingly there are sometimes that many worthwhile programs at once, and we have a huge library of recordings ready for when we move to a canal boat or something. Converting to HD would therefore be a humongous writeoff / investment.)

Me I've more than a few DVDs and I get 10 TV channels from the local Satellite TV translator for next to nothing.

Winning with some good news. Maybe there's a 'normal' insurance company that will take me anyway. Fingers crossed...
