    I'm normally one of the 'if it sounds too good to be true' types, and this is there!

    £108 for a year of sky HD, £54 extra for sky sports. That doesn't seem right!!!

    Things like this pop up from time to time, if you're near a Best Buy, just be glad.

    looks like a very good offer. One thing I don't get... on the main screen it says you get HD Pack free for a year and and also SKY TV Pack Half price for the year.

    In the T&Cs however, it does not clearly state in the New SKY+HD Customers section that you get SKY TV pack for half price for the 12 months.

    Are there any catches to this deal?

    What you think the catch is?

    I'm very intrigued by this offer. Nearest store would be in Liverpool which doesn't open till Autumn. Only other nearest store is Merry Hill which opens on 25th June... on the day this offer ends. AArrggh

    If you find my thread on HUKD, people are grabbing leaflets from the store that contain codes, if you ask nicely someone might PM you one to sign up with on their website.

    I used a similar code a month ago (my HD pack was ½ price, not free - typical!), there is no catch.

    If this is an instore offer only, and you didn't live near a store why would getting a code be an advantage, or have I misunderstood the post?

    Because you can go via http://www.sky.com/quickbuy/build and use the code to buy on line.

    My BIL lives about 10 min from the Thurrock one, so if he grabs me a leaflet with a code I'll qualify? Ie get code, join up online?

    Was going to get a telly with freeview HD built in, but still need an ariel (is on other side of house currently). £108 for Sky HD for ther year, then I keep if afterwards anyway...seems a bargain!

    Actually it works out only £58 because signing up online currently eligible for £50 M&S vouchers. You should still get the voucher when using the offer code, unlike quidco/tcb.
