Free sky HD

Daz2009

I was put onto this by a local tv shop.
Basically I rang sky to cancel the sports channels for the summer ( I have the full package and sky +)
Initially she offered me free sports for 6 months.Great I thought but then I mentioned I was thinking of going to HD when the football season starts again and would it be a problem.
I was then offered a free HD box,free installation AND no monthly charges for the 1st 6 months if I kept the sports channels for the next year.
Good offer or what

Indeed, nothing is ever " free " from Sky.

I pay the same as I pay now for the next 6 months,£48.50 and then £58.50 for the 6 months after that

So over the next year you will pay Sky £642 or £53.50 a month, that's how much it costs when it's "free"

Daz2009

No,over the next year I will pay an extra 60 quid and for that I get a HD box and all the HD channels.

So thats the hd box....free
installation......free
1st 6 months .....free

Is that enough FREE for you ?
If you don't think thats a good deal thats up to you mate

I get hd for free using freesat (bbc hd and itv hd) and its free for more than 6 months and I dont have to pay Aussie git Murdoch for his global empire which is a great feeling in itself

Daz2009

Don't take offence. Many of us are cynical towards the $ky empire, not with you.

If you get a good deal with pay tv, you should let others know.

I would just urge caution with the use of the word 'free'. (You are obviously aware of this as you qualified the word 'free' with the adverb 'totally', which implies that there are somehow degrees of freeness.)

In Portugal, supermarkets cannot say 'buy one, get one free', as this is considered misleading: they use the terminology 'take two, pay for one'.

The point that I, and others, are making is that the term free is both used and abused, and $ky happens to be one of the biggest abusers.
