Sky +

Hello can anyone help me,

I'm looking for a good sky + deal. all sky can offer is a sky + HD box which is going to cost £49 plus an extra £10 per month. Now 2 issues i have with that is
1. why should I have to pay £10 per month extra for 2-3 extra channels (as I don't have sports package)
2. my TV is about a million years old so the HD picture would be wasted!

Has anyone got any ideas?

Cheers

NM

    at the moment sky are pushing hd for £49 with free set up


    sky+is £99 with £30 or £60 set up fee:mad: :confused:

    might be worth waiting and asking an existing customer to recommend you when the price comes down a bit or they offer bit more in vouchers
    Honesty is the best policy doesn't matter which web site
    you are on!

    if i had known then what i know now!

    a bargain is only a bargain if you really need it!
  • Thanks Pingu,

    Call sky cancellation team and ask them that you dont get enough time to watch TV as you come from work late and dont have sky+ to record programme and would like to cancel sky TV and they are offering sky + for £45 including installation. I had mine last saturday :T

    I have asked for sky+ but they want £99 for the box and £30 install

    Did you press them on this?

    I was "chatting" to one of their sales advisors on the web the other day and they offered to drop it to £49 for the box without me even asking...

    The Sky HD box is advertised nationally as £49 with free fitting.

    What they do not tell you is there is a £30 'connection fee.'

    They are in a very hard sell mode presently and will promise you practically anything to get you on board. I was promised reimbursment of the £132 BT line reconnection fee if I took on Sky Talk and Broadband.

    I paid BT and signed up with Sky. When I applied for the BT fee refund they said they were no longer doing that deal and I had been given the wrong information. They would not budge even when I cancelled the Talk and Broadband.

    I am now back with my old provider (Virgin) but am £132 out of pocket.
