I'm in 2 minds about posting this but here goes....
I've just had the BG engineer around to check out my boiler as I am going on the Home Care package. Whilst he was here he offered me a Hive Active Heating 2 and Boiler plus installation for £149.99. I hummed and harred and did a quick search online and thought "ok why not". He is coming back at 3pm today to install as I have a doctors appointment to go to at midday. I asked him 3 times to confirm and he has assured me it is "the latest Hive out the Hive 2" I will post pictures after installation today.
UPDATE. ENGINEER IS HERE. showed me the offers, best price is 149.00 and it is the Hive 2 with hub and stat to control heating and boiler. working on it now, pics to follow.
all done and working top notch. synched with ECHO as well but apart from telling here to increase and decrease room temperature for not that is all it appears she can do. Well pleased with the scheduling and the HIVE app had a good play around. Did I need it - no as my honeywell controller was fairly new. Am I glad I got it, -yes it looks cool and I like the more control I have. thanks guys.

I know people are jumping up and down about this, but I still don't see the point. For me the thermostat works in the background. having setup days, times, temperature etc it should work 24x7 without any intervention and without bothering me with alerts or anything.
happy for you if you want a sophisticated intelligent system installed for turning a boiler on/off but not for me. thanks.

Do you go on to a different, more expensive fuel package? If not, seems like a good price to me. Will follow and see how you get on later today

Sounds like a Virgin Media deal where you might need to track down an engineer in your area who can offer you something.... Unless of course anybody has any links. I'm considering installing in a new place i'm moving into but think i require two zones as their is underfloor heating downstairs.
