Cheapest way to get Sky for 12 months

Alloneword

Firstly i think Sky's min contract is still 12 months, if it's more they can forget it.

I'm in a bit of a strange situation where I want to get Freesat (not from Sky) but getting someone round to do the install will prove to be a fair bit, I bought a Manhattan Plaza HD-S via Tesco direct the other day for £100 which included the install, that suited me fine as i'd sell the Manhattan Plaza HD-S box and buy my own freesat PVR, but having now got the box and seen it terms and conditions and heard some of the prices they quote for non standard installs which mine is, i'm now thinking it may be worth just getting cheapest Sky deal and when it comes to install just bung the guy a few extra quid to put small pole up (only about 3 feet will what i need), then when the year is up tell sky to shove it and i still have my dish/quad LNB which i'll keep and then maybe flog the box for a few squid.

looking at Quidco/TCB there is only a pound between in cashback, I'm looking at cheapest deal i can get which is £20pm for Sky+ for that i get £100 cashback and £100 worth of M&S vouchers which i will just fleabay for about £80, so total cost for the year is £240 minus my CB and fleabay stuff means i only pay £60 and for that i get a year of sky dish/quad/LNB/cabeling which will all be used for new Freesat PVR in 12 months time plus whatever i can get for the sky+ box.

Is this the best way to go about it or am I missing a trick here or do you suggest another route?

This probably is the best way of going about it, but if the cashback doesn't track or is declined (I can't see a reason why it wouldn't track or be declined) then you will be in a bit of a mess.

Yea i have read there T&C fairly well and it should track but if it dont i can cancel only worry is if it tracks and then fails to pay out i'll be well screwed.
