    During the application process on the Simplifydigital website it repeatedly says that "once activated, you will continue to pay BT for your line rental" - so how does that work if the line rental is free for the first 12 months with this deal ???

    Secondly I could not find in the cheaper option where you select the free 2MB broadband - please enlighten me. Thanks.

    I second that, and can not work this deal out at all.

    If you still pay BT Line rental, why all the fuss about Free Line Rental worth £120?

    Can anyone confirm that even though the 2MB Broadband is not mentioned in the application process, you automatically get it, or is it a case of getting Sky to activate it at a later date at no extra cost?

    Yes, that's what I would like to know. If the broadband were included, that would clinch it for me!

    If ANYONE knows anything - please put us out of our misery!
  • there are various deals available with sky and the best one is the hd box for 49 for existing customers

    Are these offers only available to new Sky customers? How long do you have to unsubscribe for in order to be a new Sky customer? Is there any way for existing Sky customers to get a free/discounted Sky+ box? I tried phoning yesterday and pointing out that it seems really unfair that as we have been loyal customers for 15 years we get nothing but got absolutely no where! There is no cable TV in our area, and no one else does a similar package to Sky that I'm aware of.
  • yes you automatically get it if it is in your area and you have either a bt landline or a sky one

    any other information required please send me emails and i will answer them for you all

  • the best deal with sky is hd box for 49 with free install and it is the best hd deal about also for the 10 pounds a month you get at the moment 18 hd channells automatically and can receive up to 33 depending on your package. well worth ten pounds a month its 4 x better and clearer picture and far superior sound

    any other information required please email me and i will answer:beer:

    Any ideas for getting a sky + HD box for cheaper then £200 (OMG!)

    I have recently gotten a HDTV and would like to know if the HD unit upscales the normal signal. (dont know if I wanna pay £10 per month for the HD channels just yet)
  • you are forgetting that for every hd box there is a 9.75 monthly subscription and also to qualify for a new customer you have to set up the payments in a different bank account than the first one.

    any other information please email me and i will answer

    hope this helps:beer:

    Okay, how about this..... I want a second SKY +HD box and I want it for free.

    Currently I have a regular Sky+ box and a Sky +HD box account registered in my name. My 12 month contract is up on August 20th. I am paying £58 / month (all channels, movies and no sports, plus HD charge and multiroom charge).

    It just so happens that we are also moving at the end of August. The new house is already setup for two satellite receivers and to make it better. My wife and I have different last names. The only thing in common between us is our joint bank account number.

    So here is the grand plan.

    1) Cancel the existing Sky account minimum 30 days before the contract is up.

    2) Login to Quidco using my wifes quidco account to get the £130 Sky cashback and free install.

    3) Sign up for a new 12 month contract with my wifes name

    4) go for the £49 free install Sky HD option at the new address.

    5) once we have moved and Sky has installed the new HD Box, call them up and tell them we have bought from a friend a old Sky +HD box and want to connect it.

    6) They charge me another £10 / month for a multiroom setup.

    In the end, I should not be paying any more that I am right now and I get a second Sky +HD box, £81 (130 - 49) cashback and the option to sell the regular Sky+ box.

    So....... Will it work and what am I overlooking?
  • yes if it is in your area and you have a bt line or sky line any other information please feel free to ask via email

    thanks

    1. You can check whether Sky LLU is in your area on sites like samknows.com and avoid the pain. 2. Why doesn't the digital TV deals page mention the SD+ and HD+ boxes available from electronics shops, DIY shops and the German-style supermarkets? I bought one just before new year and a one-off cost will always beat a monthly subscription. The EPG isn't quite perfect yet, but neither's Sky's and there's good TV guides on the web anyway.
