in Shop but don't drop
Just been to Tesco extra near Plymouth, they have sky starter packs for £1.97, I know most people have sky, but you get a new remote control which alone is worth £17!! And it comes with 12 month guarantee So its worth it for that!! Just thought I'd let you all know

    I saw this offer in my local tesco a couple of weeks ago and wasnt sure if the remote was included.

    Newunk have you actually purchased this and is the remote included?

    I think this might be it (although I believe there are several different box designs for different "channels" - ie a films one, a football one, etc).

    Yeah we got one on Saturday, and we went in yesterday and they still had a few left! It was in a reduced bin near the electrical dept, with a reduced to clear sign....The remote is included and you defo get 12 months guarantee on it too.....So all in all as i said well worth it!!!

    with the starter packs i know it comes with up to 2 months free viewing, so can you cancel after that time or do you have to contine with sky for the year?

    You would have to continue as it's a 12 month subscription.

    Nice to save.
