    Regulars may recall I have the HDR1000S and 3 old SKY boxes dotted around the house. Recently one of the SKY boxes was showing problems so I replaced it with the HB. My son is a Tesco employee and got a 20% staff discount, bringing it in at just over 62 Pounds. What a bargain! A superb little box that has transformed my viewing experience to match that of the HDR. I'm now tempted by another 2 to replace the remaining SKY boxes.

    Thanks Barry, I've duly ordered two boxes at a total of £85 including P&P. I'll report on my experience.

    My two HB's were delivered yesterday. I think there are some minor differences in the packaging but out of the box the unit looks and feels brand new. Hooked up one, downloaded latest s/w and it performs flawlessly. Waiting for a longer HDMI cable needed for the second. My only problem is determining in what way these are classed as "Graded/Refurbished" as they are indistinguishable from new. Two boxes for £85 including P&P beats £62 (or £79 without the discount) for one. A bargain buy and they're still on offer.
