Before I get offered any more FreeView boxes... I've been offered an identical
Sony box to the destroyed one. Given it's good quality picture and the fact
I've just about trained my dad to use it I've accepted the offer.
To everyone who emailed, many thanks, it's reassuring to know that people
don't just throw stuff in the bin and are prepared to give them to someone
else who will use them.
