    I think the best you can get it £29 (from Currys) from posts i read yesterday.
    I think the recommend a friend is still going though. £50 each last time i saw.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    sky+ is actually more expensive now than sky+hd, obviously they are pushing the HD packages.

    you can get sky HD for £49 online, and then £100 cashback from quidco, making it a £50 in your pocket, however, HD is more expensive than just normal sky

    Sky+ is £99 on the sky website, and quidco are offering £50 cash back!

    I think I'm beginning to suss out just why you keep encouraging people to sign up for Sky+... :rolleyes:

    Don't laugh at banana republics. :rotfl:

    As a result of how you voted in the last three General Elections,
    you'd now be better off living in one.

  • The currys deal for £29 is only if you buy an HD TV.

    The Quidco offer is a good deal, if you can get it entirely online, because you get a free months subscription too. I'm very tempted.

    Edited because HD is £49 not £99. Whoops.

    one of those sales people you see selling sky in shopping centres told me the other day that the regular sky+ box is free to new customers. so you may want to ask one of them, if there are any in your local shopping centre.

    Recommend a friend is worth £50 of M&S vouchers at the moment. You still have to pay the £99 for the box and £30 install.

    I don't think you'd be able to combine the recommend a friend with the Quidco cashback. :confused:
    Dave. :wave:
