    Hope that includes all HD channels -if not, overpaying.

    Yep, I'd want Entertainment HD at £1 and no admin fee for that. At least get Entertainment down to £15 (plus £1 for HD) but don't pay more than £10 for the 'admin fee' (I'd never pay it myself at all and the more people who tell them to shove it the more chance they'll quietly drop it).

    No HD only sports HD cos you have to have that.
    I told them that £20 was ridiculous. He tried to tell me that this deal might disappear unless I took it out now. Didn't like his chat.

    Got admin fee quoshed but they offered sky Q for same monthly cost and £20 installation fee.
  • I have a question - Up until recently, (around the last 3-4 months), I have (like many others) paid Sky for 2 months on a monthly basis also known as 'a month in advance' which over the past 6 plus years has of course mounted up! I am no maths genius, but I feel as though at the end of each year, I have already paid for the following year...Can someone help me to clarify/understand...Or is it just me?

    I thank you in advance for your feedback :)

  • when people talk about going through mydeal do they actually have a deal on the page or is it just the chat button?

    A relative of mine got that plus hd for £40 with no admin fee which they were happy with. Definitely tell them you will sign up but not with that admin fee, they will soon take off. As others have said on here you could possibly get entertainment down to £15

    Surely if you are paying a month In advance you are only paying one month at a time not two? Ie on September 1st you are paying for month of September. If your contract is £50 per month you are not paying £100 a month are you as that’s mad!!
