    by all accounts it is also possible to not have to pay the £10pm HD sub for the first year either.
  • do you still get the £100 cashback if you choose not to take the £10pm HD sub?

    All those saying you can get out of paying the £10pm for HD Channels. Do you mean you can have the box but no premium HD Channels or you still get them but for free?

    I seem quite good at getting a deal out of Sky but I can't see how they would drop that monthly charge AND offer free installation AND free box. Although mine is being installed on Tuesday, any tips on getting this deal would be nice! Thanks

    Hey,

    It included the HD channels, but without the £10 per month for 12 months. Not really sure why Sky would do this, as I guess it won't even cover their costs on the box.

    If you've already signed up, then I don't think they'll drop the £10 p/m to be honest; still not a bad deal though even with the monthly cost.

    I quizzed the gent that called me on it, he said that everyone who had received a 'Supertelly' flyer through the post would be getting a call and all customers would eventually. Advice to anyone wanting when they get the call would be to um and err about the £10 a month, then say you don't think you can afford it; they came straight back with £0 p/m.

    I got a call last week offering me free HD box, free installation and free HD subs for 12 months with no commitment afterwards (I currently have sky+ box with full channel package). As I was about to go pick the kids up the lady said she could arrange a call back for the weekend and said she would put a note on my account to say what I had been offered in case I wanted to ring back. Well, after getting no call back by tea time today I rang their HD upgrade line to be told it was a very special offer and I had to wait for that department to ring me back because he couldn't match the offer. Have I missed out now??? :(

    I just got a call off sky...

    He started by offering-

    Free HD+ box
    Free Installation

    If I sign up for the HD at £10 a month.

    I thought it may mess up my deal, so I said no. He came back with-

    Free HD+ box
    Free Installation
    Free HD Serivce for a year on a one year contract

    I recently negotiated a 6 months half price deal, so I'm paying £9 a month.:D

    I couldn't really refuse him!

    Just to add, he said they'd be calling all current customers at some point, so it may be worth holding out for.

    Is this for the latest HD box? ie the bigger capacity
  • probably not, I'm half expecting them to just come and spray my sky+ box black for those kind of costs! I'll let you know when it gets fitted.

    I missed a call of Sky on Thursday, but they rang me again on saturday and offered me:

    Free HD Box
    Free Install
    Free Sky HD subscription for 12 months

    So couldn't really refuse, being installed this saturday. I was prepared to seem uninterested if they wanted me to pay for the HD service, but as it happened they offered it to me straight away.

    No they offered this to my parents last week. They called her back this morning and she is getting it fitted Thursday and getting free HD for a year. I got it almost a month ago and I am away to tell them to shove it not happy that I been with them 17 years yet she gets offer and only been 2. Also service is rubbish keeps sticking
