Currys DTT boxes

The point being that most people aren't.

I think Bill's point is that it doesn't make any difference (to
whether it's a bargain or not) that you can or can't claim VAT back.
If you are registered, then you can claim it back wherever you bought
it. If you aren't, you can't claim it back wherever you bought it. A
price that only looks cheap because it doesn't include VAT is just as
bad regardless of your VAT status.

I'm glad you explained that.

Agreed but most people just look at the headline price and, most people
aren't vat registered.

Not Makro customers.

I just bought three basic DTT boxes from Currys, £20 each. Quite
impressed. Quick and easy install. I connected one to a feed which had
both Emley and Crosspool on it and at the end it asked which region I
wanted it to store, Yorkshire or South Yorkshire.
A quick sensitivity test suggests that it will work from a mux at 30dBuV.

Bill

Got any details of the model please Bill? At £20 a pop they might be
worth a go for a bedroom system.

Cheers

Offhand no, but it was the only one in Currys at that price. Black,
rounded, and only about 5" wide.

Incidentally they had a barrow load of them at Parkgate, but some of the
boxes felt light and had obviously been opened. Some had a security wrap
and they were obviously OK, but some didn't have it and some of those
were light. It is Rotherham though. The place is teeming with tea leaves.

Cheers. Is Rotherham really that bad?

Just had all the coax taken off the front of a sheltered block. It will
be several days' work to put it back.
