Reinstate Sky or new subscription?

2.1K Posts

Hi, sorry, it's another Sky thread!
We cancelled our Sky subscription in the Autumn as we only want it for Eurosport and MotorsTV for their motorsport coverage.
We want to restart Sky again but can't work out the best way to do this.
We'd quite like another Skybox but we aren't bothered by HD and we don't want to pay for HD.
The last contract was in OH's name, is it better for him to ring them and restart Sky - are they likely to give him a good deal on the monthly cost? OR is it better if I take a new subscription in my name (different name, different bank account).
The new customer minimum seems to be £18 per month whereas before we cancelled I think we were down to £16 - is there any chance of them reducing the monthly cost for a new subscriber, I don't need to free broadband cover they are offering within that price...
Any thoughts and advice gratefully received.

They only offer the HD Sky+ box, but you aren't forced to take an HD sub, if you don't take the sub though you have to pay more for your installation though.
Thanks for completeing that,I got interupted by the Sunday visit from the Jehova's witnesses doing the rounds!!:mad:
I let my dog answer the door to them..
Bloody annoying.:mad:
bl00dy jehovas good idea on the dog answering the door wonder what they will think of my 9 stone akita :eek:
That is a really good point, it hadn't occurred to me that OH could reinstate on a monthly basis and then we can chose to can it again next autumn if our finances are still as they are.
We don't *need* a new box and we can probably pick up another one off ebay or something similar anyway.
Thanks very much.
- Our springer has a very ferocious sounding bark but then in true Spaniel style licks visitors to death!
I have a ferocious !!!!!cat....dont think that'd do it tho.
Nearly every Sunday I get the usual 'god squad' leaflets falling thru my letterbox despite a sign on my door saying 'No junk mail!'....
Dont get me wrong,I believe in a god however If I want to worship a god,I'll go to church,I dont want them calling on me on my days off!
