hi,

the VM box they supplied is a "Scientific Atlanta" (????), Model "Explorer 4000DVB", it looks brand new but interestingly on the bottom, it says the date manufactured was 12/03/2003 (how up to the minute!).

do you think i can ask for a more up to date unit? ie have i been fobbed off with out of date kit?

cheers
pablo
