no one knows the next area to go m8 that would be upto you pay your money take the chance
if you bought a second hand one and got a month out of it you would have lost nothing but at the end of the day its your choice

I hear London will be one of the next areas to be tested.

But for £40 i'd take it.

Hi mate you got no chance of getting one for £40, read what was said >>>>

The £40 was for a starview or a eurovox.

Unless you know what you are doing with a Linux box it will make very little difference if it is running or not, sooner or later you will come unstuck, you are better learning the ins and outs of a Linux box otherwise it will just become another FTA box and you will be sorry you bought it. The best way to learn about a Linux box is to get one and do your own learning, but be warned it will take you months to get to grips with it.
