Sky+ HD for existing customers: £30 install.

Does anyone else get sick of Sky picking and choosing their deals? Aren't they regulated by someone? Seems one minute you get fab deals posted on a forum, then others ring up and Sky deny all knowledge of the deal! What's that about?
(sorry about rant - nothing to do with the original post really.....just get so cross with Sky!)

But is a HD picture any better and worth the £10 a month. From a lot of reports it is not if you have a decent TV anyway.

It's not whether you have a decent tv or not that's relevant, in this case it's most definitely size that matters.

What HD really lets you have is a good quality picture on a much larger tv, we're talking tvs in the 40"s and upwards. With smaller tvs (remember when 32" was considered big!) the effect is marginal and IMHO not worth the extra. We're talking sensible viewing distances here by the way, if you're one of these wierds that sits with their nose on the screen then you need a different sort of help.

If you have a larger tv,your eyesight is OK and subscribe to enough of the premium channels it's more than worth it when you factor in how much you spent on the tv. The number of channels that are now available in HD means 80% of what we watch is in HD, we do subscribe to both sports and movies but that doesn't account for more than 25%.

Also HD won't make a poor quality tv better you'll just have a poor quality HD picture but it's all relative and depends on what you're used too.

Hope that helps.

i think sky are one the most hopeless companies i have ever dealt with. lately i rang for another multiroom box, the girlsaid i cud have one free and £30 instalation and £10 mnth multiroom. I said go ahead, then she told me she cud not do that, so it wud now be £200 plus. Went to cancellations,they cud not do nothing only give me 25% off for 6 months or something like that and they said they wud listen to the call and contact me. Did they - did they not!! I was not holding out cos i know how hopeless they are, in fact i bought a free view and their 25% paid for it.............

just had an argument with sky. i rang a couple of days ago and told them we have one hd box in one room and a sky+ box in another room. they sais that was fine - i could still have the hd box for free plus £30 install.
today they sent me a text to book it online but when i tried i could not do it.
i rang sky and they said because we already had one hd box it would cost £229 for another hd box. i told them what they could do with their hd box!
looked at the small print and it does say existing customers only if you do not have an hd box already. this is not made clear.
i am very annoyed as we pay £67 a month already!!!!!!!!!!1

I had exactly the same thing, told £50 when I went on the waiting list & then over £200 when the booking day came.
