Haggle with sky even if you are scared and bargain dell TV....

Just wanted to let you all know that I just upgraded from Sky digital to sky plus for £65 !!!! including installation. I am not a haggler by nature so I was a bit nervous. However it didn't take much to get the sky cancellations department to significantly drop the massively overpriced sky plus deal to £65.00. I just moaned about how I would have to pay an extra £10 for sky plus and a massive fee for the box and installation, and I may go to freeview and buy a dvd recorder instead. I am very proud of myself. So go ahead even if you feel you can't do it. You can! (oh and I called sky on the freephone number I got from saynoto0870.com - fantastic!).

Also a note about a great tv deal - just got one from dell

In my opinion far better spec/quality/style than comet currys etc, it is reduced by £300. I asked for a further reduction and got it for £984. There other TV's too. It has detachable speakers and has a stylish "expensive" look. Well worth a look. AND IT ARRIVED IN 2 DAYS! :T thank you for the advice Martin and the team.
