Sky-what would you do?

Hi

A friend of mine works for sky and hes given me a voucher for free sky for a year, free subcription, free installation, and free 2 options from the mix. I would post the code but hes been given it especially to pass to a friend and id feel bad i he got in trouble because of me.

The question is, i have the option of sky plus box for £49, and the whole package inc movies and sport for £22.

What would you do?

    Would you really use the movies and sports channels enough to warrant the difference of £22 a month?

    Let's see if I'm picking this up right........
    Sky employee gives you voucher and it's specifically for a friend that he's asked you to send it on to and you're thinking you could use it yourself?
    If I'm reading it right then you'd be stealing from Sky, the intended recipient and the employee that you know.
    If I've read it wrong then i'm a bit confused as to what you're after - if you're asking about which package to get why have you mentioned the employee, passing it to a friend and getting in trouble?
    Can you please clarify?

    I think Lindsaygalaxay is the "friend" it has been passed to (if I'm reading it right!).
    The Sky+ box is brilliant and I'd definately go for one. Are the options Basic package for free and Full package for £22? Full package is OK if you watch lots of sport, but the films are only premiered at the same time as they become available to rent. You may spend a month or so catching up with films you've previously missed, but after that you may find it difficult to justify the cost vs. a few DVD rentals per month!
    "Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.

    I'd snap his hand off!!! If you're still unsure in a few days pass it on to me, I'll make good use of it :D
