How long on Sky's records?

AMO

Hi all,

I joined Sky about 6 years ago and cancelled about 3 years ago.

How long will I be on Sky's records?

How long before I am safe to sign up as a new customer?

I want to go for the FreeSat from Sky offer.

Thanx

AMO

If you're only going the FreesatfromSky route, it doesn't matter when you subscribed as you're not taking out a subscription.

Well, technically I'm going down the Pay Once Watch Forever route - does that count?

Thanx

No, it shouldn't matter.

Just to add I believe if you have to be without Sky for 12 months to be classed as a new customer.

Interesting thread this, I think OP's question has been answered, but I want to follow on if I may with similar question.

However my predicament is that I took out Pay Once Watch Forever back in September 2008 and cancelled (easily I might add) in January 2009.

Now do I qualify for the offer detailed in the thread in my post in your opinion or not, based on being a "new user" or not?
I was never technically on a subscription for sky, just a one off bundle which i paid up front for then cancelled.
Also, if someone does have an answer, can you link me to the T&C clearly stating it, as i've searched the insides and outsides of Sky's website, yet cannot specifically see the answer.

As you received subsidised equipment (the fixed fee for Pay Once deal is under cost price for the equipement based on you taking a 3 month subscription and possibly continuing) I would suggest you are not a new customer. However no harm in calling and asking where you stand.
