How to blag stuff out of sky

Hi

Fed up with paying for what is effectively freeview tv plus Sky1, FOX and Sky Atlantic (these channels are pretty much the only ones that get watched). Currently paying for the Sky Entertainment HD package with Broadband and Sky talk. £46.25/month. Think I managed to blag the broadband for free but this might be coming to an end soon so bills will be going up by another £7.50.

Don't have minimum contract so can leave anytime. Know that threatening to leave will usually encourage them to offer discounts/free stuff - what's the best tactic when doing this?? I'd have no qualms getting a freeview box but not sure you can get the above mentioned channels....

Ideas?

    You can only get Sky 1, Fox and Sky Atlantic if you subscribe to Sky. Do note though that ,if you cancel Sky completely, your current decoder will continue to receive all the Free-To-Air channels available via satellite, so there will be no need for a Freeview box.
    If do you cancel Sky realise that they may just allow you to cancel without offering any deal, nothing is guaranteed and the fact you are currently getting free broadband is no indication of what may (or may not) be offered.
