Sky TV Deals

Options
We are moving into a new house and want to install Sky. We are a current customer of over 15 (maybe more) years.

Looking to get just the entertainment package.

What sort of money should we expect to pay out and how much more could I expect to pay out for multi room?


Thanks.

    Not sure about the multiroom so I apologise for my lack of knowledge around that but I cancelled my Sky package a few weeks ago to see what they would offer. I checked yesterday and they offered the entertaiment package for £15 a month instead of usual £20 and boxsets for £3.50 instead of usual £5. They arent giving much away and the old 50% and 60% deals are a thing of the past as everything is offered individually now as add ons. Hope this helps.

    Multi room is usually £12 extra a month

    Entertainment bundle is Usually £20 more for HD

    So £15-£30 a month for Entertainment HD+Boxsets HD + Multiroom is a good deal any more than that is not worth it

    Sky go usually £199 setup fee & £99 Per mini box but can get this way cheaper if you haggle

    If they've had Sky (continuously) for more than 15 years they'll get free Sky Q setup. They may have to join the Sky VIP scheme first though which is free.

    They are moving house. Sky won't charge for installation at the customer's new property and they'll be able to use their existing decoder equipment (apart from the dish, obviously) unless they particularly want to "upgrade" to Sky Q.
  • Why pay that sort of money when you can get NowTv for around £5 a month with discounts which includes box sets. And no contract!

    Go for Sky Q. It!!!8217;s a fit and forget solution which just works. I!!!8217;ve had it about 6 months and love it. Well worth the money in my opinion.

    I could not say sky q is worth it on a money saving site. It so is not worth it! There are cheaper alternatives that do not require commitment to a long term contract.
