    I think this has been around for a while. And it's not such a great deal because Sky customers of more than 6 years can get the HD box for £199+installation. But National Trust members have been able to get a Sky HD box for £199 for ages.

    I posted this a while back but people were saying that they had been with them for 10 years and only getting £50 off. I think the calculator isnt working right (or the people didnt have unbroken service)

    Ironic - I don't suppose many National Trust properties would be allowed to have a Sky dish bolted on the side! :D

    I've had Sky for 10 years, asked for a price for HD box and multiroom, was told £199 for box + HD + Multiroom subs. Asked them to do the box for £150 as I had heard a new customer on the avforums saying they got one for that. They wouldn't dicount the box but instead offered £66 off the extra subs over 6 months (£12 discount on package for 3 months plus half price multiroom for 6), so I took took the deal, its being installed today. :j
