Sky - Pay Once, Watch Forever

Hi
Hope this has not been posted before

WHAT IS 'PAY ONCE, WATCH FOREVER'
A new way to get free digital satellite TV for a simple one off payment of £75.
  • NO MONTHLY FEE
  • OVER 200 DIGITAL TV CHANNELS INCLUDING BBC AND ITV
  • OVER 95 DIGITAL RADIO
  • SKY BOX, MINIDISH, SKY REMOTE, CHANNELS AND STANDARD INSTALLATION INCLUDED
  • ACCESS TO EXCITING INTERACTIVE SERVICES
  • ABILITY TO UPGRADE TO ANY SKY DIGITAL PACKAGE
Exclusive to new Sky TV customers, this pack gives you access to over 200 free digital TV channels – that’s four times more than Freeview, plus 6 months of Sky’s most popular Entertainment Mixes, ‘Variety Mix and Knowledge Mix ’.*
Customers get access to a range of fantastic TV and radio programmes on offer in the UK in crystal clear digital quality. Whether it's keeping your kids entertained or simply entertaining yourself, you'll know where to find great entertainment whenever you need it.

Catch all your favourites from BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel4 and five, plus great extra channels such as BBC3, BBC4, CNN, Travel Channel and loads more.
And with interactive services including email, SMS text service, betting and online shopping, you can do more than just watch.

What It Costs:
For only £75, you can join a world of non stop entertainment. Your Sky box, Sky remote and standard installation are all included. Once you’ve bought your Sky box and dish, a fully trained Sky installer will visit your home and fit your equipment so there are no fiddly bits to set up.

This is a contractual requirement and not an option.

*After 6 months, you have two options


1. You can upgrade to a Sky TV subscription and pay from £16 per month for 1 channel mix or increase your subscription for more channel mixes/sports/movies.
2. You can just continue with the 200 free channels you have and access to. The Variety and Knowledge mixes will stop.

    Don't worry - I posted the link to the main thread because it has the combined wisdom of a couple of hundred posts, so if anyone has any questions they should find the answer there

    Kwaku - if you already have the satellite box etc, then you only need the freesat card. You can get one from Sky for £20.

    Have just looked at the freesat as were thinking of cancelling our second sky box subscription.

    Yes you get 200 channels instead of 44 but you dont get E4, More 4, C4 +1 or Sky sports news. Which you get with freeview....

    that may change in a few months with BBC freesat (or proper freesat as I like to think of it! :D )

    also, for people thinking of going with the dixons deal, don't forget quidco etc

    And the link has been doing that for some time now.
