New to Sky....

I'm just moving into a new house a week on Friday, and would like to sign up for Sky+.

I hear people talking about half price boxes, free installation etc. I had a look on their website, and it seems that for

Sky+
Installation
2 channel packs

It will be £169 as a one off charge, then £25 a month?

Surely I can get some better deals than that?!

  • have you looked into skys combined internet/telephone package, i believe its called "surf speak see" for around £26 a month you get wireless broadband, evening and weekend calls, and i think 6 entertainment packages, connection fee of £20,( which i think is a great price) i am thinking of changing to this and would welcome comments on the service,from anyone that has sky ;)
    dont wait for your boat to come in, get in a dingy and row out to it!!!
  • Hi jamief, Sky always have ongoing offers....obviously sky+ will not be free as it is a premium box, but the standard sky box is still free and the installation for standard box is still free...

    look here; http://www.sky.com/portal/site/skycom/products/equipment

    or if you want a total package with internet etc... http://packages.sky.com/

    Hope that helps :cool:
