    This did not work for me, as they had no record of me they wanted my card no, which I said Id lost, still no joy

    When I cancelled current sky package,they did just that and cancelled it!!!(no offers) been a customer with full package for 5 years and all i got is sorry to loose your custom!!

    Hi If I stop my subscription to Sky will I still be able to watch Channel 5 for example or BBC3 E4 etc.Someone told me that I would need to buy a viewing card if this is the case where would I get one and how much does it cost.Many Thanks
    When you phone to cancel sky,tell them you still want to use the box for freesat and they either update your card or send new one(not sure which) my Dad has just done this, the only channel I know of that you dont get that is on normal feeview is E4(there is a list on the sky site which shows which channels avaliable)

  • i was wondering if sky have treats differently to the customers who are in virgin area to the customer where sky have monopoly.
    If you live in an area where sky has monopoly then sky is the only option to watch sky sports isn't it?

    When I cancelled mine I didnt think I had to ask for freesat? I thought it happened automatically, shouldnt it?

    Its due to go off on 23rd this month I dont have a tv aerial do I need to ring them up? Would they charge me for freesat?
    Thanx

    i was told when i cancelled my sky, that i would still get freeview automatically, just a note sky want to much money now plus having to pay license fee to bbc, its just not worth it anymore if you really think about how much you really watch sky, you can live without it and save summers coming
    so get out more. i had sky since it began, but am fedup with there prices

    :) But if its free why would they disconnect it just coz I doint actualy ask for it and although its free I thought I read here before somewhere that there may initially be a charge for set up of it then its free?
    Thanx

    Should I ring them back then to ask them to keep me on freesat then?

    What if they did take it off freesat can they put it back on if I rang up without charge??
    Thanx
