    Yes

    Free HD+ box
    free install
    free 12 months hd subscription

    Nothing extra to pay. Monthly bill payments stay the same unless you take out multi-room which is £10 per month

    Cancel HD after 12 months then revert back to non-hd sky

    Ring 08442 411 442 then press 0

    tell them skyn rang you offering the above deal but you were out so they left a message but have not got back to you


    The 12 months free HD comes with a contract for the following 12 months!
    So im not sure that you can cancel after the free 12 months!!?? Or do you mean cancel after the contracted following 12 months!?!

    I phoned Monday and was offered free box, £30 installation charge and £10 pm subscription I ended up cancelling sky altogether. Thought I would have another try after reading everyones succcess stories so just phoned again and said that someone had called me and offered free box, free installation and 12 month free subscription, went to check as no notes had been made on my account but could see that someone had re-activated my account, he spoke to his supervisor and its coming a week on Sunday:T Thanks to OP and everyone else for your comments.

    I agree, I think the problem is now that so many people are ringing them that it's being ruined for the rest of us who will wait until they call, I'm sure they would have got round to everyone in the end doubt it now offer will most probably be withdrawn

    Sorry Tobykim, but as I was told by Sky sales, this is only being offered to a certain amount of people and its very much a lottery. The real culprit ruining it for the rest of us is Sky themselves. Maybe they should treat ALL of their existing customers with a little respect and make the same offer open to all.

    I wouldn't call them up I'll wait, if I get a call so be it, but if I don't it's no great shakes, happy with sky+, my point was that people should wait until they are called, I remember someone trying for an offer like this, and had nothing but trouble with the box after, I believe all good things come to those that wait, and if not then it wasn't meant to be :D
