Ive got a question, Ive just ordered Sky TV, Broadband, Talk... My TV will be getting set up next week however the only time possible to get my phone set up is around the June mark, this may be due to availability...However is there any way i can call up and ask to be put on some sort of list if somebody else cancels their set up day?

Does that make sense. So basically if for some means a date becomes available earlier than june is there a last minute list available for the install.

I hope that makes sense.

Openreach do that not us, mind you it's booked through Sky. No way of being put on to a list though i'm afraid.

I have a question!

I have been with SKY on the full movies and sport packages since 1996 ish. We still have the old white SKY+ box.

I would like to keep the full package and upgrade to a new 2tb box and HD TV.

I would appreciate your view as to what is the best possible deal I could negotiate bearing in mind I have been paying the full rate, without discount, for 17 years? Also could be interested in multi-room, depending upon the deal.

Many thanks

Currently a deal for some customers for £49 for the 2tb box, as for the package that really depends. Not much offer wise with sports and movies at the moment.

The 2tb box for £49 is the quoted upgrade price on SKY's website.

However having read the forums here and elsewhere it seems lots of existing customers have been calling SKY and negotiating much better deals than the quoted packages such as free HD, multiroom or half price (or even free) TV for a year. For example:

Just been offered this ref sky.
free HD For a year.
Half price line rental for 12 months
6 months free unlimited top mb broadband.
Free 2TB Box
Some new fast hub £69 Router

Any insight as to how far I can push SKY before I make the call would be appreciated.

I have Entertainment Extra Sky channels package.

What is Entertainment Extra Plus and how much extra is it?

Blackburn

A lot comes down to who you speak to, we all have certain offers to use each day, based on lots of variables, time with sky etc.

Entertainment extra plus is those same channels + HD & 3d.

The HD included is only for those channels not sports & movies. HD not sold as a pack any more, It's 31.50.

Blackburn

Tbh some people are making up what they are offered on here, system we use doesn't allow us to stack offers on certain things.

We can't apply offers & stack them up, for example could apply only one offer on TV there.

With the new packages, what are the options required to get Sky Sports F1? I'm not interested in other sports channels.

Blackburn

Now the only way is via sports, HD no longer sold inclusive with F1.

Thats very irksome, still gives me the excuse to do a bit of subscription trimming.
Thanks for the heads up.

Blackburn

If you currently have HD and remove it be careful you can never re add it with f1.
