SKY HD Offer?

Dpk

Got the original offer via email in March. Said that it had now expired and that they are now doing the free box with £30 installation. No offer of free £10 HD charge.
Poliety declined!!

Given the poster's penchant for ambiguity, the "just" in "just called" may mean "simply" rather than conveying any degree of immediacy.

Bear in mind that most of the bargain HD deals offered during Sky's recent bonanza had deadlines that expired at the end of March. Since then, few have succeeded. Basically you are asking Sky to halve its revenue; it would go bust if it did that for any protracted period of time. It was a short-term promotion.

Even at half-price, Sky's expensive. The poster would be paying at least £258 during the first year. After that it would rise to a minimum of £348 a year.

Whereas, a FreeSat HD box with the equivalent functionality of a Sky+HD box costs a one-off payment of less than £250 and then everything's free, forever.

I'm not saying that Sky doesn't offer more channels in HD than FreeSat. Just that, even on the cheapest short-term deals, they come at quite a high overall price.

For some, if they live in the right location, this can be off-set to some degree by getting Sky's (2 mbps) Broadband for free. But for many it can't.

I got "offered" the 9 months free, with free install and free HD Box, when i stated that people have been offered it for free, i was politely informed that it was based on an outbound marketing campaign and that this offer was only for a select few. People who were eligble, may have missed the call from Sky and called back to receive their "entitlement"

I decided to cancel Sky as my 12 months is just about to finish.

I left it until 3 weeks into my month's notice and rang back. I saw on their website there was an option of installing the HD box yourself and thus saving £30 (they send it by courier). So I asked for that deal.

The nice man on the phone said they would install it for free if I signed up for another 12 months (the HD box was free anyway). I was happy with that, then he offered to waive the £10/month for 9 months!

I don't know why or how it worked, but I got what I wanted without much effort. I hope this helps someone else now.

I rang today to rearrange my HD installation and got 2 months Sports and Movies for only £3 more than I'm spending now, and 4 months free ESPN!

I think someone's leaked happy gas into their offices!

I was asking myself the same question the other week on here, anyway I searched the net, took a lok at a few refer a friend referrals that come on ebay and ended up going for one that offered the best deal I could find at skyhdoffer.com everything went smoothly for me and sky actually send you any vouchers then tell your referrer who sends others depending on their offer to you.
