top set boxes pensioners, page-2

"A waste of $300,surely most pensioners have a $25 set top box"

I havent really paid much attention to this issue since I gave as a gift new flat screen TV's to both sets of aged parents... The prices for these things are dropping so fast especially if you mention that you will buy two of them at the one time...

However I did notice somehere that this is to be $300 for the $25 box and presumably the rest for installation charges...

If this estimated breakdown is correct it is quite difficult to see how anyone could justify charging $285 or similar figure for such a simple "installation"...

However if the estimate is roughly correct... does seem true to form for the gillard government and it sounds more like one more a massive rort...
