Having spoken to Sky today I was assured that the £65 would include a
replacement box (not new) with a 3-month warranty.

Thanks for the advice. I'm thinking now I'll replace the Hard Drive myself,
upgrading to 120Gb in the process.

The FULL SYSTEM RESET was tried previously - it was unsuccessful.

That gives you nothing, you cannot "reserve" a name, either get used to
other people using it, or choose something more unique..

Stan..,

You're missing the point. It's of no concern to me what anyone chooses
to call themselves -- but it would unquestionably be a smart move
before choosing a nickname to run a Google Groups search on it to check
whether other people with the same nickname could might be posting in
the groups you intend to frequent. I know what I've posted so I'm the
least likely person to be confused by a thread which appears from the
headers to be a monologue with the same person asking and answering the
questions. So out of consideration to others it's a good idea to be
easily identifiable by your nickname. Of course there's nothing
patentable in a nickname. It's just common sense and good netiquette
not to choose one that might confuse the natives.

You could do much better than this and those pathetic three months do
not affect your legal rights.
