Sky+ Charge removal

jburfot

rang sky to reduce my package as the footy season is over. The chap explained that I would face a £10 charge for the recording feature of sky plus, if i did not have 2 or more premium packages (sky sports/movies etc). I knew this anyway.

He then went on to say that from June 1st sky are scrapping the £10 charge and so sky+ recording is available at no extra cost no matter what package you are on.

However i noticed that sky have upped the cost of the box so it may be worth shopping around for a cheaper one if you dont have one

This could be true as myself and at least one other forum member have been offered Sky Plus for FREE with no monthly fee and a £20 credit in case we get charged the fee on next months bill - Discussed Here

Excellent if true but I'm not holding my breath!

Also discussed in some detail here http://www.skyuser.co.uk/forum/sky-news-announcements/9783-something-big-cards.html
From what i can extract is that sky are currently dropping the sky+ charge to those customers outside their 12 month contract as a retention deal - though come 1st July it will be dropped for all customers.
Note: There has been no official statement - only word from those custoemrs who have phoned retentions.

I too have just been offered free Sky+ & £20 credit as a retention deal.

Makes downsizing to a 2 mix selction and keeping Sky+ a realistic price now (£15 instead of £25 previously) :-)

I'm upgrading to Sky+ , called yesterday and had got the Sky+ box for £49 and had £20 credited to my account to cover the £10 per month until July then it's free.

Is it still £49 for a new Sky+ box, and free for a refurb ?

Thanks

Hi rang sky this morning saying we are going to cancel the television 6 mix and also the telephone call freetime and they tried to offer us the 2 mix and we said no as the kidz would be missing out we have the lot or nothing and they have done us a deal from £39.97 to £21.00 but we have to pay for our calls in the daytime great saving !!!!!!!!! as we dont use the phone much in the daytime .. Try it with sky they need to hear the word CANCEL i was reading through the forums and found this and told my husband to try it before he sets up the DD and YES it worked great result we save £18.97 per month ...............
