I have Sky and Sky+ but aren't tied into a contract. Does this mean I could cancel and apply for the 12 months half price deal through HDTV?

If so what do i need to do?

Thanks

I have Sky+ but aren't tied into a contract either. I would like to know if I can do this too. If I cancelled would it mean Im without Sky for weeks though?

When my card arrives do I need to have phone line connected to sky box? I have not had this in for years havnt a clue where the lead is any alternatives?
also I havnt got a sky plus box can i just ring and get upgraded to sky plus ?

right at the bottom of page 11, bluey9 posted an offer that they'd been told about by a sky rep, 33% off any subscription for a year with free box/dish & installation.

Seems a fair deal to me if you wanted the whole package, if you weren't interested in movies or sport then it would be false economy !

Just done this thanks so much.
Got free installation and the full package for a year for £29 a month

Can I just ask....those who have activated the card through a phone line, did they give sky their correct phone number when they rang originally to get the deal? Many seemed to have given a wrong phone mumber and I wondered how this worked when they activated card??

You'll be asked to go to the services menu then into the 'top secret' installers menu where your box will activate a 'callback',it just rings SKY back to complete the card activation, i bought a 10m extension cable from Poundland (for a £1 :rolleyes: ), plugged it in, activated card then disconnected the phone cable and packed it away for next time. voila:D

i've heard you can manually pair the card to the box but Sky don't like it and i think it just increases the chance of problems from a customer service bod, all part of the 'must have a phone line connected' rubbish they always refer back to. OT people have had full installations removed by engineers because they couldn't verify by phone and the engineer gets it in the neck if a phone line isn't present :eek:

you might get a problem when you try and pair the box to the new card as it is already assigned to a current contract, if you've not got Sky+ (which needs a manual switch-on by an operator who will see straight away that its still bein used) then you'll probably be ok, the old subscription will just expire normally...........

I just called sky to cancel my subscription. It cancels on 6th April.

Does anyone know how long the 1/2 price offer is on for? How long does it take to set up? Can I leave it until the end of March before ordering the FreeSat offer?

TIP: Regarding Sky asking loads of questions for cancellation, I simply told them that I was emmigrating to Canada in April. Then there where no questions asked, she just cancelled it.

What if you have bought an old box off E-bay and you tell the operater this ? Do you think this would be OK?
