6pm - just dished up dinner and house phone rings, half expecting a call so I answered it... Only to have someone from sky... in a country far far away... tell me I am entitled to 6months half price sky sports...
NO thank you I say...
But is 6 months half price she says.....
NO thank you I say again...
I then explain that only sports I do watch - F1 - is included in my HD package, and my girls and me have no interest in footy etc..
But if she wanted to give me 6 months half price on any other things yes please...
No she says - thats a different department....
~~sighs......

When I was on holiday in Corfu last month, the villa I rented had a hacked satellite box that could effortlessly provide full Sky including Sky Sports and Sky Movies. I presume getting even half price is better for Sky from us mugs than the millions across Europe probably watching for free.0

you can get hacked boxes in the UK relatively easily. Obviously I don't bother myself but i believe they are very easy to do and use.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

Just curious but did they ask for you by name or did they just ask to speak to "the sky account holder"? I have been getting a few calls lately, funnily enough since I recently switched to sky broadband *rollseyes*.
The first time I almost gave them the time of day, but now its a swift "foxtrot oscar" .0 -

They'd double their prices before offering you such a deal.0 -
Wish they'd do that for me for Sky Movies! I want Sky Movies half price, can't afford the full package at the minute. But Christmas is coming and may want it0
