Sky Store
Hi everyone, when selecting a film from sky store, does it download first before watching or can you watch straight away like you do with sky box office. I'm confused about all this, but am I right in thinking that only the on demand that is downloaded first. I'm asking because I don't have unlimited BB.

Cancelling Sky - 31 Days notice from 11.5 Months?
Hiya, I'm approaching the end of a 12 month contract with Sky - I've used the online chat to ask what date I can give my 31 days notice and have been told 03/08/13 (12 months to the day of activation) Surely this would mean the contract is 13 months? I was expecting to be able to give my 31 days notice 31 days (or later)…

Getting it half price for my first year though), so the tv is only an extra £9.00. Thats a lot less than I pay sky for the entertainment plus (I…

They kept ringing to try and persuade us to go back finally offering us the package we were on free for 6 months so we went for it. When the 6 months is up, I don't think we'll be able to afford the…
