On live char now with Sky, I currently am paying £94 pm for Sky Entertainment £29, Sky Sports Complete Pack £28, Sky Cinema £11, Sky Sports HD £6, Sky HD £6, Sky Multiscreen £14 as just come off fixed deal of £52.50

They are now offering Sky Signature £23 instead of £30 Sky HD £2 instead of £4, Complete Sports £18 instead of £34, Cinema £8 instead of £19. So a total cost of £63.50 for a new 18 month contract + they want £25 for the Ultra HD box instead of £199 and £20 Admin fee which they will apply a credit for on account (only the Admin Fee)

Still seems high, what are your views on this please

I just managed to get the full package with one mini box for £53pm on an 18m contract after being told £55 was the absolute best offer about 10 times.

Always worth haggling a bit, I was paying £49 before so I feel it’s ok at £53.

Thanks for that, think that is what i will do, as going round in circles asking them why I have to pay for box when they own it and lease it to you!!

Now down to £57.50 after 3.5 hours on chat, luckily at work and can do other stuff while waiting on them to respond, still think they can come down a bit more

From people's previous experience, what happens when you press the "Take My Offer" button on the sky.com/reviewmyoptions screen?

Does it action the offer immediate or give you another chance to confirm?

I am considering signing up again as Now TV seem to have changed their pricing to be worse than Sky but the Sky renewal prices quoted does not contain the Sky Sport HD package nor the SKY Multiscreen package.
As there is no cooling off period, I want to make sure I know what I'm getting into.

I believe you click it once and that’s it, phone to cancel and you may get a better deal.

I had sky cancelled last year end of august.. Have been getting the come back to sky mails for a while now.. got in touch and was offered the below -

Sky Ultimate Pack, Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, Sky Kids, Ultra HD , 2TB Sky Q Box for 18 month contract at £40 .. they would not budge on the £10 activation charge but all other charges were waived.. what I found surprising was that they have to send an Engineer to reinstall the services which i think is a waste of time as the Dish and cables i used from last year is still available which was used for Sky Q as well.

I noticed that SKY were doing an offer on BT sport so I contacted them back on chat today and tried to check if i can add that on a discounted price as i was paying for it on my EE mobile for £15 to cast on tv. I was able to get BT sport added and still keep the cost at £56 so for extra £1 than what I was paying EE I get to watch it and record if needed and one bill to manage it

Sky Signature - £12
Ultimate TV Add on - £4
Sky Kids - Free
Sky Sports - Complete pack - £2
BT Sport - £25
BT Sport HD - Free
Sky Cinema - £11
Sky Sports HD - £2
Sky HD - Free
Ultra HD - Free

Had the old Sky HD+ box, best they could do was 17 for signature, previously was paying £15 , don't have any other service with them. Probably why I didn't get as good a deal.

Managed to get them to waive the £10 admin charge

Also upgraded to SKY Q free of charge and no installation costs. probably for the best as I won't need to worry about repairs, my sky +HD box is over 5 years old now
