where do I stand if I cancel sky+HD?

Hi everyone

I've had Sky+ for about 4 years and upgraded to SkyHD in March 10 so obviously that has to run till March 11.
I moved home last month and paid the £60 fee for new dish,cable etc.
My question is, I know that I'm still in the HD subscription contract till next March and if I cancelled my Sky completely would have to stump up the remainder of the HD subscription plus any cancellation charges but I wouldn't have to pay the sky package subscription as well would I as I've had them for a few years....or would I?
The top and tail of it is,as for many of you I've hit on hard times and as I already have a Humax HDpvr I would like to use that and not pay Sky for anything.
I live in a remote area and can't get analogue or freeview so Sky installation was the only option when I moved.
I would be grateful of any thoughts and feedback
many thanks
Bella:)

  • Yes, HD sub contract is for a min of 12 months, so onec you signed the deal you committed to stumping up £120.

    Thanks Harrowing but as I originally posted I'm already aware of my obligation with regard to the Sky HD subscription.It's the package subscription I'm querying as I've had the packages for 4 years. I'm presuming that a move doesn't trigger a new package contract.:)

    As far as I'm aware it takes you into a new 12 months contract. You can downgrade your packages to the lowest sub but I don't think you can cancel altogether.
