Sky Package deals ? Are they possible ?

Hello
I wanted to find out if there is a way i can get a better upgrade deal on my current sky package ?
I currently Have the Sky World package, BT Internet and Talk Talk phone.

I phoned SKY to upgrade my package to Sky+ and multiroom AND to add Sky Max broadband and Sky talk.

The lady on the phone gave me all the prices and combined package costs which do end up saving me money compared to my current three deals added together.

BUT she said i would have to pay £99 for the Sky+ box and £50 installation fee !

I did ask, as i was a long standing LOYAL customer, and the fact i was moving my Phone and Broadband to them, would they waver the Sky+ costs ?
She said NO.
Now i think this is a bit of a cheek.
What do you think ?
Can i get a better deal by phoning a different number to the one advertised on their website for upgrades ?

Thanks in advance.

    If you order through their website, you can get a Sky+ HD box for £49 with free installation when you take out multi-room.

    I do not have a HD TV so having to pay £9.75 per month for HD Channels is a waste.
    The HD box is a good deal but i don't need it at the moment.

    Thats why i am looking at Sky+ but not if i have to pay almost £150 to get it.

    Do you have to take the HD channels if you get an HD box?

    You get free HD for the first month; just cancel it after that.

    To get the HD Box, you need to take out the HD package.
    And because you are taking out a new 12 month contract by upgrading, i don't think i can cancel it.

    Anyone have any other thoughts on contacting SKY and getting a better deal ?
