    Managed to upgrade To HD with Free installation with the link on page 7 but instaed of "New" on the end, change to "existing".



    Couldn't get free HD subscription. Felt I was trying to flog dead horse with that 1 in the end. Phoned several times and I'm sure it must of been logged I was trying to blag it.

    I did manage to get half price package for 6 months by joining sky talk, however Sky Talk order won't go through as I'm still within contract with Talk Talk but I was told will still get half price package for 6 months.

    Sky HD Box = Free
    Sky HD Installation = Free (should be £60 for existing customer)
    Sky HD Subscription = £10
    Sky Entertainment Pack = £11.50 (should be £23)

    Total = £21.50 for 6 months

    Best I could do after painfully trying all week.

    How did you get that? I either have to subscribe to multiroom or pay for installation :(

    Actually it's now not removing the HD pack, although it states free.

    Could be wrong but from what I've read elswhere ... with this offer you don't get a choice, everyone gets an Amstrad DRX890 box. People who don't want the HD pack (or new subscribers to Sky+) also get one of the HD boxes but with a smaller HDD.


    Got mine this morning and it's a Samsung.All i can say is WOW!! the picture on all channels is brilliant,even with out the HD,so when you get an HD channel,it is even more amazing.

    According to the installer,the offer should only be for those who have been with Sky for a long time(such as myself) but it all depends on which call centre answers and who is at the other end of the phone.Which is bad really,no consistency and that is why it is unfair for so many.
