    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    It may not be as cheap as we all hoped! Im upgrading from STD SKY as an existing customer to SKYHD with this 50% off deal and for the HD I need to replace my existing box with an HD one. The offer shows they will charge me £259!!! (£199box and £60 setup) Its cheaper if I do it without the offer?! or buy the box separately from someone else?

    Didn't realise you had to pay for the box as well!

    I got offered a free HD box from Sky if I subscribed to the HD package for a year, which is cheaper than buying the box for £199 but still not great.
  • I'm on the phone to Sky now - hoping a human being can help!
  • I tried to upgrade without the code. I have a Sky+ box at the moment, upgrading to Sky+ HD I would just have to pay £15 delivery. Are you saying if I use a code, they will charge me for the HD+ box?

    That is probably something you will have to call sky about

    I wouldn't bank on it. I rang them and the guy I spoke didn't know anything about it, he just kept offering me their own 6 months for half price offer.
