Yeah Im fairly confident here, I have only had the disco channel for 20 of
the 28 days that ive had the TV, we were away for 3 days and then there was
Chrimbo, I reckon that the disco channel was only on for 14 hours over 28
days.
Surely this is not acceptable !!
I will update you all in a couple of hours once ive spoken to the nice folks
at sevenoaks.
