Just spent 2hrs on messaging and I'm tearing my hair out. Nothing is simple with Sky TV. Was offered Signature service for £17 + Netflix for additional £6. Distinctly average. 

Then, he hit me for an additional £4per month for HD. Do people actually pay for HD in this day and age?

I have renewed/renegotiated an "old" package earlier this year , Box sets plus Sports - extra is charged for both Entertainment HD and Sports HD - seems wrong now that they are moving over to UHD BUT Sky obviously feel they still can charge for HD as added value. I wouldn't pay full price for it personally.
 I believe that Cinema includes HD as standard now.

Phoned Sky on Monday & cancelled my package which included Variety (not HD) & complete Sky Sports (HD) for which I was being charged £39 & £15 respectfully. Got a call this afternoon & I  have now got Sky Signature (not HD) £15 & complete Sky Sports (HD) £8 on a 18 months contract. To be honest I could take or leave Sky at the moment but when they knock off £31 a month & I still have all the channels I watch its hard not to bite.

I cancelled all mine the other day. I really did qant to cancel.
Stayed with Broadband though for a good discount. 
Hubbys not bothered about Sports now, the only channel i mostly watched waz witness
So will biy a Humax box which  has catchup, rewind, ff, records 3 chaanels at once. 
Costs 200£ approx 3 months sky payment but no more monthly subscrption with the new machine

My renewal is due in September, im paying £70 a month for calls, line rental, broadband and Sky Entertainment, Box Sets, Sky Cinema, HD and SKY Q.   Any advise on getting a good deal?  Thanks

Thanks for the Replies everyone.
I contacted Sky again saying I wish to cancel and got straight through to Retentions Department. I have agreed to an lower price but it does save me just over £70.00 a month which I think is a big improvement from previous £5 and £8 discounts I was offered.
