Free Sky TV comp problems

Has anyone won, from any company, one of these "Free Sky TV for a year" packages. Sky are supposed to be calling me to arrange it all and I'm still waiting and the company who I won with (not sure if its right to name them YET) say they've passed all my details on and its now down to Sky.

    BUMPING - come on, all these "Free Sky" comps, surely one MSe'r has won?
  • I've never won, but dealing with Sky can mostly be a looooonnnng process. I would not expect anything quickly from them.

    I won sky for a year with Real Radio & it was in & working within the month.
    I didn't encounter any problems even tho I already had a subscription. They did insist on fitting another box in a second room. I now have a Sky+ HD in 2 rooms & am only paying for a 2nd room (£10) & Sky+ (£10) so it was worth having to go on the radio.

    Good Luck but I think you will be OK.

    Why are you paying £10 for Sky + , that charge is long gone. Surely you should just pay for the multiroom?

    I won and got a letter from Sky about 2 weeks after asking me to call which I did a couple of weeks later. We already have Sky HD so we just had a new box fitted (and kept the old one as a spare) and just had the 12 months added to our account. We are now on a VIP account so have a different number to call for problems :)

    We're also with Sky already but have cancelled one multiroom sub as the box is dead and cant afford a new one, and cancelled the Movies pack as our bill was too much. So this prize seems like a dream come true but the cancellation kicks in on Aug 13th, so really wanting it sorted before then.
