I've only ever taken two devices back to Apple for repair. One was an ageing iMac that needed a new hard drive and the other was a MacBook that failed completely. In the first case, Apple replaced the hard drive at a price that was about 30% in excess of what I expected. The MacBook was fried and Apple replaced it completely with a new unit before the 12-month warranty period was up.
But a recent expose by CBC News in Canada has painted a less than stellar picture. Simple repair jobs are being over-charged with fixes that other repairers complete in minutes.

There's been an iPhone app for scheduling recordings on a Foxtel IQ since 2009, and now Android users have the same options. The Foxtel Android app is now available in the Market, and enables scheduling if you've got an iQ or iQ2.
