Former_MSE_Archna

Update 14 May 09.

This offer's been extended until 25 June 09.


What's the deal?

Sign up to any of Sky's packages via Moneysupermarket* before Wednesday 13 May and you can get a free Sky+ box plus £50 M&S vouchers.

The Full Low-Down

New Sky customers can get a year's contract with a free Sky+ box (which is the famous hard drive recorder with live pause etc) plus £50 M&S vouchers before 13 May. The basic package costs £16.50 a month.

What you get

• Free Sky+ box (usually worth £99, or £49 at the moment)
• Free 2Mb broadband (if you rent your line from Sky rather than BT, otherwise £5)
• Free weekend calls
• £50 M&S vouchers

What you don't get

• Installation, which costs £30
• Telephone line rental, which you get from BT or Sky at £10/month.

How to get this deal

1. Go to the special MSM Sky deal* before 13 May and click on Sky+box for free.
2. Pick the package you want and check out.

Can this be beaten?

Currently Sky has a promotion on where if you sign up direct you'll get £25 of Tesco vouchers. Couple this with the £30 cashback that's available via cashback sites and you'll be £5 up (though the cashback's not always guaranteed).

However most cashback sites take a £5 per year admin fee, so if you're new to using them, both deals are of roughly the same value. For full details on how cashback sites work and which the top payers are read the Top Cashback Sites guide.


What is Sky+?

It's a hard-drive recorder which means you can live pause and rewind live programmes, and record things without tape. It's been called Sky's "killer application" and is rated by the Which? as the top box of its type.

I just signed up for this on-line and it all went through very smoothly. Easy to opt out of sky talk and broadband etc. Installation booked for 10 days time though, so will have to wait and see what happens!

If anyone has taken up this offer with Sky, just be warned that you may need to chase them for your £50 M&S vouchers.

We had it installed months ago and had to really chase them with emails and letter to get our hands on the vouchers. They did arrive in the end however.

I got tempted by a very similar deal recently but because I live in a block of flats I wasn't eligible for the deal. Boo to sky - because they have to outsource to local companies for this kind of installation the deals aren't available to us flat dwellers - this includes blocks with 10 or more flats. Was very annoyed that I didn't get the deal I had been enticed by but had to go with it because there's no Virgin cable in my area yet - and probably not for a long time.

I will be using my complaint letter skills to argue about the discrimination against where you live as to what deals you get, when I get round to it I'll let you know how I get on...!

:mad: ARRRGHHH!! I'm gonna have major problems with this as they are saying it can't be done online as I live in a block of flats of 12..... not 10 :mad:

They have already installed the com dish for sky+!!!!

mumof5boys

i think they will do it for exisitng customers if u take out multiroom subscription, whichi wantedto do anyway. i read it in the small print of advert!

Yes, but what if there is only one room in your house with a TV? Doesn't seem very fair, as one of the reasons for wanting a Sky Plus box is so that people who didn't get first pick of the programmes can have it recorded to watch later!
