I think the price of Box Sets when added to offer is only £5 per month. At least that is what I am paying with it. HD is included in the offer but would be extra under previous packages.
I'm on the legacy Boxsets package, not Entertainment plus Boxsets which would be £20+£5. Adding HD to the new Entertainment would be another £5.0 -
The offer is available to current customers. You can have HD and Sport already. You don't have to change to Sky Q.
The offer does require a new 18 month contract and there is a £10 one-off charge.
I took up the offer last month by phone.Retired at age 56 after having "light bulb moment" due to reading MSE and its forums. Have been converted to the "budget to zero" concept and use YNAB for all monthly budgeting and long term goals.0 -
Sky have been given out very mixed messages on this with variable results.
We called to change this over and Sky were adament we had to take SkyQ to be eligible.
We are a HD, Sports existing customer.
Very frustrating when family had managed to change theirs over without getting SkyQ. They wouldnt even entertain the idea when we called.
Gave up in the end as even if we took out Sky Q they didn't offer us the rate on the advert. It wasn't worth the hassle.
Decided to see out our existing contract and then decide what to do next. Probably cancel and join in my name rather than my partners as I would be a new customer (bizarely recommended by the Sky advisor to get a better deal.)0 -

Hi, yes we had the comversation with them. They acknowledged the same household and suggested doing it this way. Previously we assumed you couldn't.0

The Sky contract terms and conditions definitely contradict this. New customers have to be genuinely new, not other members of the same household.
Obviously, if Sky don't realise that you are the same household then you'll receive new customer deals. Normally, this only happens if the surnames don't match. You'd still have to give one month's notice of cancellation and then sign up as a "new" customer. All new customers are automatically signed up with SkyQ equipment, so if it was your aim to avoid this I'd say this will involve a lot of messing about for no great gain.0
