Title: BBC Digibox offer
Post by david_france on Nov 18^th, 2002, 10:03pm

:D I have just received and successfully set up my fantastic digibox as advertised in Prospero (30% discount for BBC pensioners) and I am am DEE lighted!
First, I was told by our local TV aerial people "You won't get a digital signal here, forget it", Second, I bought it for use in my motorhome, anyway. So it's a brilliant surprise to find that it works perfectly giving me Sky News, ITV2, Five Live in quality, Parliament etc etc and fantastic text services including detailed local weather forecasts. All for £66 plus p+p ! So don't hang about, if you want freeview digital get ringing the number in Prospero before the offer expires! Nice to know that being Ex Beeb still has some benefits!

Could you let me have the details of the digibox offer. I've just discovered that in spite of the post code, I can get an excellent signal using a borrowed box. Unfortunately I had given up and thrown away the details.

Sorry, I have binned the copy of Prospero containing the contact details, Perhaps someone else has them opr else I suggest giving the Prospero office a ring.
(There was also an offer of a decent discount on certain magazine subscriptions - you might like to ask about that as well)

The phone number for the digi box is 0845 603 1054, McMillan UK Ltd and say you are a BBC pensioner. But when I tried about 10 days ago, they were sold out. :'(

If that situation has changed please let me know. nick.jennings1@ntlworld.com
