Sky+ HD Box Deal

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can help.

I am looking to get a Sky+ HD box. The box is currently £49 with free installation for nw customers or £30 installation for existing customers.

I am currently without a Sky contract.

I will also be moving within the next month.

Which way is the cheapest to get the box please?

The other problem is if I order it for the new address with free installation, I think there is currently a lead time for the box of up to 3 months. That would mean I could be without Sky TV for 3 months.

Any ideas? :confused:

Thanks.

    I think you can get quite good cash back from those sites like Quidco, that would probably be the easiest way as I imagine their pricing is pretty fixed?

    When you ordered, did it tell you that the lead time was up to 3 months? And when did you order it?

    it said 2 months but changed to a shorter time every few days. we registered on 3rd feb and by 16th feb we were able to complete our order and it was installed 5 days later.

    On the cashback sites it says for new customers. The person who currently lives at this address has Sky (gets disconnected in a few days). Do I still qualify as a new customer or not as the address had Sky before? :confused:

    You will be a new customer as they have gone through the cancellation process.

    Find a friend who is an existing Sky customer to introduce you and you both will get a £50.00 M&S voucher.

    See here.
    But maybe an M&S voucher isn't your thing... your choice. :beer:
