Freesat was launched on Tuesday, 6th May, three weeks ago and I bought a
Humax from Comet on the 9th.

We've been installing Freesat, using Sky boxes of course, for years and

I ordered online from Argos on the 8th and it was delivered on the
9th.

Why do people pontificate from a position of ignorance? Is it
something about usenet that elevates what's actually just an opinion
or a vague impression to the level of absolute certainty? Maybe that
would explain the amount of off-topic bullshit that appears here. (I
mean the stuff that's bullshit as well as being off-topic, and would
be just as shitty wherever it was being expressed, but for some reason
usenet seems to draw it out.)
