Are you trying to tell me that this isn't really worth £799.81?

I have a new house that's been fully wired up for Aerial and sky plus, all
that was needed was the aerial. I contacted a company who featured very
well on "check a trade" who would not give me any idea of price, but said
the installer will come and survey then give me a price. Expecting them to
at least look at the system, the installer arrived and I told him the set up
and he just said £175 plus VAT. I told him thanks but no thanks. My next
door neighbour offered to put one up the same as his at a cost of £40 plus a
beer. It works beuatifully............the installer had a wasted journey -
shame!

I stayed at one of the Preston Premier Inns last September and had

Says it all really. Mind you, when the Customer Satisfaction Survey
e-mail arrived a few days later I didn't half let rip - but probably to
no avail.......


I just assumed complaining would be futile and didn't bother...

It is a bit like all these new/upgraded hotel rooms that have every
computer connection one can think of in the room - and nowhere to
anchor a laptop security cable :-(

Then I'll never know...
I doubt that even if I was stupid/rich enough to buy one, that I would be
able to hear any difference whatsoever!!

I wonder what 'KIMBER's latest discoveries in the nature of digital signals'
actually are? Obviously not the fact that a digital signal would be just as
good along any decent bit of wire as it would down a solid silver, zero
oxygen fat free, low CO emission, thousand pound cable!!

Whilst we're on this subject, what about directional cables? My
speaker cable, although quite cheap, has arrows on it as do some of my
interconnects.
