A public thank you to Tunnie for showing an interest, getting involved and not letting go.

All sorted to my satisfaction but I was getting nowhere until Tunnie persevered.

Glad its resolved

This might wander slightly of thread,but I had a cold call yesterday from some Sky insurance firm.

The firm was called Sky or were they trying to sell you insurance for your set top box? (which is illegal from 3rd parties, so i've been told)

Hi Tunnie,most prob a outside company,at least Sky shows you it phone number ( it costs a fortune to call them) I've gobbsmacked by the attitude of that bloke,wish I had his home phone number so that I could return the favour.

I've had a similar call myself.

Cold Caller: "Sir, I'm here to sell you insurance for your set top box, did you know Sky don't insure them?"
Me:"Oh really?"
Cold Caller: "Yes Sir, what would you do if yours failed now? They would charge you £300 to replace, £50 for visit to install it"
Me:"Nah, would not cost me that"
Cold Caller: "oh it would sir, how would you replace it?"
Me: "I'd walk down to the other end of my office building, walk into the production Sky+ testing team, who have 100's of combinations of which set top boxes Sky have and firmware versions, I'd say, Hey Mick, got a spare I can have?"
Cold Caller: SILENCE
Me: "Oh did I not say? I work for Sky, this service you are selling is illegal & i'm recording the call"
