FREE SKy+ and installation + no monthly charge

Taggy

Thanks Saeed,

I really appreciate your response, just wanted to check though on point 2 you mentioned that they give you a separate box, does that mean my old sky box has no more use?, or do i still need to have it in order to recieve sky itself??, or does the sky+ box do both the recording and carry out all the functions that my old sky box (not sky+) did?....i.e do you just have the one box rather than two?

i saw this thread this morning and have been threatening sky all day that im going to cancel. i explained how i work nights now and dont have a need for my tv package. i was then told that they could only reduce my package saving me £3 per month but it might be possible to get a free refurbished sky+ box free of charge. he told me that it would be sales that would deal with it as im tied into my contract until november 2007. but when i go through to sales they tell me that they dont deal with that side and that it would be customer services that deal with it. so i go through customer services and get nowhere and get passed through to cancelations where i then get a lecture on how this offer is not available and how i cant cancel coz im still in contract. i now got address for head office. please help.

It seems I finally said the right thing to get the deal:'Sadly I want to cancel.........' Was put through to the relevant department and after being put on hold was offered the free box or the £49 box which I took with installation on June 11th which suits me fine.
Many thanks to everyone who has added to this thread and encouraged me to keep trying, it finally worked!

Your new Sky+ Receiver will do both functions, your old Sky Receiver is yours to keep, or use in another room.;)

wait until October, cancel then (you have to give 1 months notice)
I think that's about all you can do.

I plucked up the courage to ring back and ask to end my subscription and was put straight through to the cancellations department, I basically told them the truth about my situation (work) and I was offered Sky+ for £49 and free installation. I've also got them to knock £5 off my monthly subscription by just losing Sky Sports 2 and Sky Sports Xtra which I never watch. The lady I spoke to was absolutely lovely!

I'm very happy! Thankyou to everyone for their advice and the original poster

after speaking to someone else on a different phone number i was offered sky+ for £49 but explained that i couldnt afford at the moment and said id phone back once ive decided what to do. hopefully now when i phone up i will get through to someone thats willing to do it for free coz i cant afford £49 at the mo

Just been offered a free reconditioned 20gb box and free installment, absolutely no hassle, its arranged for the 11th, however, I did wonder whether I should have gone for the new 80gb box?, should I phone back and say I prefer to pay £49 for the new box....any thoughts?
