Hi,
I would appreciate details of Sky deals for new customers.
Just need the free Sky channels.
I am aware of cash backs from couple of websites : Topcashback and Quidco.
Ideally, I would like to be able to see the sky channels in two rooms. Not sure how much extra it will be for the wiring.
Also not sure whether it is worth paying extra subscription for the HD box.
Thanks

theres a thread on referrals , special new customer offers and some free vouchers if you take a look
you are almost certainly not going to get a 2nd free box for multiroom, they tend to offer it if you are upgrading from and existing sky setup ( move the original box to the 2nd room when SkyHd installed)Ex forum ambassador

Hi,
thanks for the post.
I'd appreciate a link to the thread for ' New customer ' deals.
I did try to search. Did not manage to find it.
Need offers for completely new customer. No Sky subscription at present.
Thanks

There are no deals for free channels on Sky - all the deals are based on subscription packages with possibly free extras. There is a subscription free version of SKY called FreesatFromSky but there are certainly no deals whatsoever on that.
Do you want to pay a subscription or do you want subscription free TV?0 -
Hi,
Just like to know of best Sky deals please.
Subscriptions or otherwise.
Please post deals here for New Customers , if and when they become available.
Pity there are are no deals for Freesat from Sky at the moment.
Thanks

I don't understand your question. If you just want the Sky FTA channels why are you looking for 'deals'? Sky FTA is free and requires no subscription, you simply need a dish and any old Sky box from freegle or eBay. The install and dish will cost around £100 from any independent installer (or you can do it yourself), so you'd be crazy to take out a Sky sub just to get a 'free' dish/box/install. Just 4-5 months minimum subs would cost more than getting it done yourself.No free lunch, and no free laptop

Indeed.. plus Sky Free to air channels, loses most of the stuff you would get with freesat/freeview.
Buy a mini dish for £30 from amazon, learn/pay someone to install it for you (wouldn't take an electrician too long) and buy a freesat box

Freesat box here (recommended by everyone and there are cheaper alternatives).:exclamatiTo the internet.. I need to complain about something!0 -

Hi Chimpofdoom,
Is there a list of freeview channels that are not available on Sky Free to air .
Perhaps, I will have to keep the freeview box and the aerial connection.
Thanks
