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!

Existing customers can get Sky+ for £49, dont know if that includes installation or not it doesnt say, if they take multiroom and sign up for another year, so not free for their loyal customers.

It's about time Sky+ was free or a lot cheaper to existing customers
£99 for the box + £60 installation is more than the original Sky installation
Come on Sky - think about us

I looked at this then decided to call Sky instead, to see what I could negotiate.

I have just signed up to:
Sky HD (which includes Sky+, on the HD box)
Sky Talk (line rental, which was BT)
Sky Broadband (2Mb, 2Gig capped)
Sky TV (Varity Mix, which includes 19 HD channels)

£49 one off fee, for the HD Box
£16.50 for the first month, then
£26.50 per month, for 12 months.

I also haggled £25 of Tesco vouchers, and free installation & setup for next Thursday.

:jVery happy with this as I was paying £12.50 per month to BT, and £7 per month to AOL.

Loustar - I live in a block of flats with over ten flats in. I couldn't do it online but when I rang the local supplier they still gave me the deal. It is worth another try.

We've just signed up for it also. Can anyone tell me why they have to connect the sky box to a phone socket? I'm not happy about this because it will mean an ugly white cable being tacked in all the way to the phone socket in my hall and also because I can't see why it's necessary.

:mad: Just had a lengthy call to Sky about the Sky+ & £50 free M&S vouchers. Waste of time and money - spoke to 2 people and they both confirmed there was no such offer on the go meantime. I explained about the email but could not sign me up for that could only give me the free sky+ box no vouchers!!
Has anyone else had problems?

I was looking on the sky website and they are offering Sky+ box £49 with free installation and a £25 tesco gift card (when you sign up online). I decided to phone them up for more info and blagged myself a free sky+ box :j and the vouchers :j all I am paying is the £16.50 a month subscription. Just by asking if they could beat BT!

Quite impressed with myself, usually I have no tact whatsoever!!

Is this for the interactive services? I'm a bit of a newbie so apologies if this is wrong!!

We got Sky over a year ago when we moved here and were told we would have to connect the phone [the engineer used his own extension to get us connected]. It would have meant masses of cabling as the phone is nowhere near the tv so we never did it and we've never heared any more about it. I also couldn't see why it was necessary but just agreed to get the installation completed. I don't know whether it's necessary for any of the pay per view services as we've never tried to use them.

While we're on Sky, does anyone know if an occasional freezing picture means the box is on it's way out? What is the expected lifetime of a sky+ box? Virgin replace their boxes FOC when they fail but I'm assuming we have to buy a new one from Sky?
