Sky TV retention deals ( post your haggling successes )

With the current utilities costs, may well see sky having to lower their prices to rock bottom. 
was with sky for nearly 30 years, they refused to budge on my price, now after 6 months im getting £21 a month leaflets.
Me, i moved away at xmas, and no way now would i go back to them.
You soon get used to other channels.

Just got into my last week of cancellation and was called yesterday and offered Signature, Sport and Kids for £34 a month which I’m happy with.  I have dropped multi screen as they could only offer £11 a month for that.  They are going to send a pre paid postage bag to send it back, has anyone in this situation been offered it cheaper before they have posted it back??

We left in Feb this year. The programs we used to watch on Sky we can view on Now TV which we only pay £5, and we get Eurosport direct via their own app. So will not be returning to Sky.

No, I think it was offered for £4 but I’m not bothered.  Only thing we’ve noticed is that we can’t watch a few channels for not having HD which is annoying.

 I've found that some channels are almost unwatchable in SD ,they are so grainy - SciFi for example and also the +1 channels. I think they are getting worse as Sky try to force the uptake of HD/UHD

Been offered £33 for signature and sports, but no HD. Thats £4 extra. Have been told would still get sky sports, bbc, itv, c4 in HD. Could someone who doesnt have HD confirm roughly what is or isnt affected with no HD

I have signature and sports but with HD for £33, so maybe ask they I am paying the extra £4 so mine could have been less than £33, it does sound like it depends who you get doing the offering.

So we lasted just over a month before accepting a deal. £31 per month inc HD for 18 months for Signature and Sports.

Has anyone had any luck getting a Sky Q HDR box for free as part of haggling a new deal. Sky want £50 to swap a 2TB one
