My box went down 2 days ago, strangely I knew it was going to happen, but when it did it still came as a bit of a shock, I went in to a sort of state of denial, scanning and rescanning for about 30 minutes until the realisation hit me( like an aluminium baseball bat to the back of the head), I deleted all the black screens I had on my channel lists, which was all the movie and sports channels and slummped on too my sofa, I was cursing Richard Branson as I scrolled through the cr@p I had left, then I realised Branson had left all the kids channels until last, so he must have a heart.

Anyway as I wiped away the last of my tears and composed myself, I made my way over to the TV cabinet to do the dirty deed of unplugging the box, I had flash backs of all the happy times I had over the years, the boxing etc,Setanta Sport, the free Prem Plus that had impressed my mates so much, as I unplugged the coaxial I got a small shock from the static flying about, I realised it was just my boxes way of saying good bye.

Anyway at the moment he is on my sideboard in bubble wrap until I decide his fate, he is much better than a door stop he is a KV750 he deserves better than that.
