that's what I thought. Which is why I asked. Because santamonica6 is holding out for a better deal because the 50% deal has gone. I figured that since both meant a new 12 month contract that it was the exact same offer... differently worded!

The 6 month offer did not involve a new contract, and possibly allowed a new negotiation in 6 months time rather than in 12.

Thank you for that information. I find that interesting. maybe too much advertisment of their 'generosity' has meant a flood of calls... therefore they needed to change their policies to lock in the customers?

If it was a 6 month offer they had on why did they refuse some people???

Our sky+ box is faulty. They quoted me £60 for an engineer to visit, as its over 4 years old asked them for any offers to upgrade. They offered me HD for £15 delivery and set up ourselves and £10.25 a month. Is this a good deal, or should I hold out for something better.

i still havent got my half price hd that i was told i was getting when i got my free hd box - i was even told i was getting a £10.25 refund but that hasnt happened yet either lol

I got a half price for 12 months offer letter so signed up again but this time didn't opt for the HD channels. Now the Sky Anytime service is poulated with around 80% HD progs that we can't watch and the other 20% is kids stuff we don't want to watch.

Has anyone else found this unbalance too? They tout Anytime as a service for all but I'm just not seeing it that way tbh.

I still think you could get free delivery and installation. What's the £10.25 per month your usual viewing or extra for the HD?

I got (just before Martin put it on the email and told the world and his wife which obivously stopped the better deals) half price telly for 6 months, new HD box free installation and half price HD subs for 6 months.

I'm not sure what the best current deals are but going back a few pages should tell you. I think you could ring back and hold out for more, def. free installation.

Thank you for all your replies, the £10.25 is extra for the Hd.

Yes, just take the cables from the back of your old sky+ and put them in your new box, buy a HDMI cable (about £2 on ebay) and connect tv & box, then call sky to register your card to the box, simples :money:
edit to add: power cable is the same so no need to re thread new cable, obviously the scart cable is now redundant as you will be using HDMI.

I had my darling 19 month old nephew and teen niece visit today with their mum and my mum and since they left at 7.30 pm I have been searching everywhere for my Sky+ remote. Neither of them have it and I have also had my neighbour helping me search for ir. I have been watching this thread and wondered wether to tell Sky its lost, but I know I won't get a free replacement as I don't have their extended warranty thingy. I have looked at the price at Argos and Tesco and the Sky+ remote is more than I thought it would be, plus reviews mention they don't function as well as the ones from Sky directly. I don't know wether to use this to threaten to cancel and get a better deal (too cheeky for just a remote replacement) tho sky + box plays up now and then but my tv does not have freeview and am way too indecisive to choose a new tv lol!!
