    Can you tell me what retailers are doing this offer?
  • Any SKY approved local retailer, I would imagine eg: S&R Belfast, Noel Grimley Belfast, Blackwood Aerials, Saintfield Road Belfast, J Reilly Enniskillen, Keady Satellite Supplies Keady, Donaghy Bros Kilrea, McCoubrey's Ballynahinch, Nichol Bros Ballymena.

    If I'm not mistaken, most of these retailers are Euronics dealers, independent shops who use Euronics to get prices down a bit to rival the big chains. I know McCoubreys and they do good deals, as I lived in Ballynahinch for a while. S&R aren't too bad and Donaghy's have a good reputation too.

    I could avise of a better deal but it is a "BIT" Dodgy.

    Lets just say someone I know who's mate lived next door to him got another mate (who fitted sky systems) to fit a dish & cabling to his house. He then fitted extra cabling from his house into his neighbours(friends) house next door. He then signed up for SKY HD & Sky Multiroom (about £70/month) and (Yip you guesed it) had the second box installed in his friends house so he only pays £35/month for full sky service & HD and his mate pays the other £35. You'd really need to know your neighbour well though to do this and know the sky installer would probably help too!!

    I wonder how much cabling i would need to reach my neighbours? They are almost 2 miles away! :rotfl: I suppose this would only work if you live in a house attached to another one...
