STOP PRESS. 6pm. 28 Jan. DEAL CLOSED (note from Martin)
Despite giving permission to publicise this deal yesterday Sky has told us it got it wrong and it shouldn't have allowed the code to be public or work.
After discussions it has agreed to honour the deal for everyone who clicked it before 1.30pm today (28 January).... which is the time we changed this post to say "deal has expired". There are reports that some are still getting the deal by phoning up and askign for it via the call centre (do report how you get on)
Sky has sent the following apology..
.
“Yesterday Money Saving Expert contacted Sky’s press office to verify details of an offer that a Money Saving Expert subscriber had posted on an online forum – so that it could be included in Money Saving Expert’s weekly email that you may have received today.
Unfortunately, and we regret this sincerely, we did not make it clear that unique reference number applied only to the addressee and was not available for general use. We want to make it clear this was not in any way an error on the part of Money Saving Expert.
We intend to honour all of the orders that we have received via www.sky.com/myoffer using this unique reference number”
As part of this we're also discussing some form of deal that will be available to MoneySavers who didnt get this offer, and details will be in the weekly email next week.
The note below stays as a matter of record, though we have taken links and the code out to avoid any confusion.
Using a special code you can currently get a free Sky+ box, usually £99, ON TOP of Sky's current normal promotion, providing you sign up to a 12 month contract. Plus sign up via a cashback website and you can get £50 cashback as well. The code is totally legit, we've spoken to Sky and it knows we're including it. The cheapest available package is the £16.50/month basic deal.
What is Sky+
It's a hard-drive recorder which means you can live pause and rewind live programmes, and record things without tape. It's been called Sky's "killer application" and is rated by the Which? as the top box of its type.
What you get in detail
How to get the deal
1. Go to LINK DELETED
2. In the right hand corner enter the code CODE DELETED
3. Pick the package you want and check out
The offer's available until 12 Feb.
Get cashback on top
Cashback sites are websites that list retailers/product providers and get paid if you click through them. Importantly, they then give some or all of this cash to you.
If you're new to this concept, please read the Best Cashback Sites guide before continuing, as while there shouldn't be a problem with these deals, the payout on cashback sites is never guaranteed; if there's a dispute with the retailer and the cashback site doesn't get paid, you don't either.
Currently its possible to get £50 cashback (or £75 if you opt for SkyHD+) from Topcashback*, Quidco* or Cashbackkings*
UPDATE 28 Jan
Sky has now stopped those from using a code from getting cashback. However those that had cashback tracked before yesterday will be paid the cashback.
Already a Sky customer?
While this is only for new customers it's often possible to slash the cost of your Sky package if you're out of contract simply by calling up and asking for a better deal.

Thanks to Danny_d on HUKDDont forget that little Thanks button , only takes a sec0 -
£75 quidco is only for the HD version which will cost you £49 and £9.75/month for the compsulsory HD pack - so really it's £50 quidco for the non-HD version.
The broadband is limited to a measly 2gb a month
I'm sure that code must be for an individual... where did it come from, does it say on HUKD? Please note you're not allowed to post codes on Grabbit anyway.The thanks button is here to the right. If you find a post saves you money, gives you useful information, or you agree with it, take a second to thank the poster!

Where did you get the HD for £49?
I rang sky yesterday and asked them about upgrading to HD and they told me it was £99 for the box, £60 for install and then the extra bit on top for HD sub!
What gives?
God I really hate sky right now.
I got sky talk which I pay £5 for (free calls 24/7 for the kids)
Unlimited net for £10 (again kid's with online gaming)
Line rental £10 (BT charge you too much if you don't actually use their services - something like £7 a month extra)
And at the mo one package at a bargain deal of £7 for 3 months, cos I wanted to cancel the whole lot.Raising awareness for Pancreatic Cancer UK and Macmillan... doing a sponsored 10k skydive for both charities.
