EXPIRED - Free Freeview tuner 'worth' £60 for your PC when you sign up with Microsoft


-7°

FOUND BY: steveo67 2 months, 3 days ago

PRIZE: Freeview Tuner
PERIOD: Once
AVAILABILITY: Online
Not much info on what the tuner is but I'm guessing it's a USB stick type and not really worth £60 but you can't complain when it's free!

Media Centre is included as standard in Windows Vista Premium and above as well as the forthcoming Windows 7.

Since the submission form seems to lose the direct link here it is -

It's not guaranteed that you'll get one - you may be selected is all.

I'm still going for it - heat!

Possibly because it's not really a deal (or even an offer, for that matter) - it's a prize in a competition. From the lonk:
Just fill out the following survey before the offer ends on 23/09/2009. If you're selected, we'll send you a free TV Tuner
So they're not saying how many of these they're giving away (is it 2 or is it a million? ) so you can't say iif it's worth while going to the effort of filling in their form. Plus, no-one really trusts Microsoft with their information, anyway.

Wish I didnt bother,

No offence to the OP

Even if you do get selected, you prob have to complete loads of marketing questionaires for them .

Not really worth it for a tv tuner

Hopefully all the cold voters didn't enter, if so, we're in with a chance!
