    Happy with that. Agent was super friendly and didn't take too long. 

    Congrats. 
    You got Sky Sports with HD for £0? Is that a lesser option than Sky Sports Complete?

  • Services switched off this morning. Just called the win back team and was offered the below for my existing package. 

    Sky Signature £22.00
    Sports hd: £18.00
    Multi room: £10.00
    Total: £50.00

    I declined as it wasn't much better than than the £54.50 they offered in the cancellation period. After a bit more haggling I was offered the below which I've agreed to. 

    Sky Signature £22.00
    Sports hd: £8.00
    Sky Cinema: £10.00
    Multi room: £8.00
    Total: £48.00

    Still not great but I'm okay with it and the 2 monthly Vue tickets is a bonus. I also didn't want to move from Q to Stream which is where they're steering customers

    Sky Sports with HD is not a package of channels but literally just the HD option? I think it's a legacy issue as HD used to be chargeable (£6?) for Sports separate from HD for Entertainment. They now include HD as standard as there is no SD option.

    It suggests that they have Sports as well but maybe they've had it before so it just gets thrown in there?
