A friend of mine ended up with a refurbished BT Home Hub, as their rather hamfisted (and futile) attempt to fix an intermittent service. I can’t remember why, but from the day it replaced his router, Google Maps on his desktop PC insisted for quite some while that his 'home' location was 400 miles away in Greenock.
Anyway, back to telly, even in areas where DSO was in 2008, the OnD boxes would have been at least 7 years old. Not brilliant, but about 5 times longer than a teenager owned mobile phone!
You'll be glad to know my Pace OnD box was in regular use from March 1999, until my DSO day (Feb 22nd 2012) The last thing it ever decoded was Sky News at 00:34hrs on that day. Felt odd and sickening smashing it (I didn’t want any chance of it getting sold as a working box) and dropping the remains into the local recycle skip
