I have tried for a deal today and no luck, unless I took on a premium channel.I have been with sky for over 11 years.Fed up! Im going to try the scotland number one more time.
It doesnt save me anything to take on a premium channel for 12months,I only pay the £21 package currently.
I want broadband for £5 and the HD mix for £10 but the best deal is only £150 box +£60 fitting for me.

Hi Nick, Good luck - my experience above was that the £75 deal was unavailable until I took (back) a premium channel. I'm convinced I wouldn't have got it without. Up to you to decide whther the saving up front is worth the 12 month extra subs I guess...[can't remember actually whether I had to sign up to HD or the premium channel for 12 months now I think about it...maybe you could cancel the premium channel sooner? - can't remember!)

Hope that helps.

Just spoke to a very helpful chap at sky, he even reduced it down to £99 for me without me even asking.

Just got this offer. I have full package and 2 Multirooms. No problems. Just ask to down grade get put through and tell them what you want.

Last year when i had sky + installed I'm sure that the guy who installed it told me that he could put my remaining sky box in another room in my house for a £60 one-off payment to him - effectively bypassing the multiroom £10/month charge.

sounds a bit dodgy but has anyone else done something similar?

seems a shame to get sky hd and then just have the existing sky+ box gathering dust, but getting both sky hd and multiroom is too dear - £20 extra a month.

thoughts?

Well the girl on the phone there said that although i'm gonna ask the guy to move my SKy+SD to another room that they still had to activate the SKY+ in the room since it only currently has multiroom. SO i would say its prob a no-go. Unless its a real dodgey deal!

Hi Guys,
Are there any previews available in Hd,we have a HD ready tv and unsure if its worth the extra cost are there any channels that do a free hd preview to see the difference in picture quality.
Thanks

i dont know, i have seen a few rumours of this happing on the net, but we got a leaflet from sky today saying we could upgrade to sky hd for £75 and £60 install if we agree to pay the £10 fee for 12 months, so maybe this offer is designed to lock people into paying the £10 fee, before they drop the fee to the masses, HTH Dave

just out of interest, say you got a sky hd, and your hd tv broke and you could not get one for a few months, could you connect a sky hd box to a normal non hd tv, and use it like a normal sky+ box, or is the only connection available a hdmi socket, thanks Dave

You can connect via scart or rf as a backup
