Hi,
Just need some advice, I've been a loyal customer to sky for over 5 years, in that time we have always had the whole package (movies & sports) about 6 months ago i managed to haggle the monthly cost for 1/3 off, so i now pay £47 rather than £61. We're now thinking of getting multiroom for the bedroom upstairs, i see that its £10 extra a month for a standard sky box, however our sky+ HD box we have down stairs has been playing up for the past few months (not recording/freezing ect...) I was wondering if anyone has any hints and tips at trying to haggle a free sky+ box for the multiroom upstairs as i believe you have to pay £60?
Many thanks

Keeley

    Go on the website and see if theres any deals available for you straight away.

    Then if not use the leaving technique.

    Little chance,you've had one subsidised Sky box already & as to your existing one,it sounds like a PSU fault & it'll evetually fail,in which case it'll be a £65 charge for a service call for that.

    Sky+ boxes (not HD ones) are given away on freegle, and nearly free on eBay.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    I managed to haggle a free Sky HD box, a free years multiroom subscription and free installation, the only problem is you've already used the 'I'm going to leave' ploy
