The offer you may be referring to was the "Pay once view forever" offer for non subscribers in 2007 which cost £75 for box.dish, installation and 4 months subscription. This was also not available to previous customers. The page I linked to was NOT the T's & C's for that offer but applies to the interactive discount under which subscription boxes are offered. Why would they offer an interactive discount to non-subscribers?
I agree that nowhere does it state that you cannot rejoin Sky and in fact they would welcome you back - what the argument is about is that only "new customers" are entitled to the special new customer offers and Sky define a "new customer" as s household which has not had a a Sky account in the last 12 months.
Making a false statement (by falsely agreeing to the T's & C's) for pecuniary advantage (i.e special deals for new customers) is the legal definition of fraud - full stop however comical it may seem to you. Although it may well not be a criminal offence under "civil law" it is a fraudlent contract.
Sky ALWAYS offer a free sky box and dish to non-subscribers, it is a regulatory obligation, enjoy:

You just pay for installation, this is something that is not advertised (Clearly not even to all staff
) look at the bottom of any page on the Sky website offering deals and free boxes and you will read this "You do not have to subscribe to Sky TV - available directly from Sky call centre (standard set up £120) - limited to one per household."
Google that phrase: http://!!!!!!!/1mpuDZd
I have no idea what is unclear.
No where in the terms and conditions does it mention ANYTHING about previous Sky subscriber EXCEPT the part I have quoted, which is only relevant to those receiving free box and dish without subscribing.
It is in black and white, I have no idea why you keep stating it does when the facts are clear: http://www.sky.com/shop/terms-conditions/tv/
I am fully aware that Sky would like to class customers within 12 months as not new customers, but that is irrelevant, especially with regard to other members of the household.
Nothing in the T&C states anything to do with that, nothing.0
