    What HD channels do I get for the £10 a month HD subscription?
  • Just a thought..... does Sky actually offer the free broadband deal for areas that are not covered by Virgin media? Has anyone found that they can access the free Sky broadband without being in a Virgin Media area?

    Yes Sky does offer the free broadband deal for areas that are not covered by Virgin Media.
    I cannot get Virgin Media where I live but I can get free sky broadband.

    Thought I'd give this offer a go but when i clicked through from Quidco and tried signing up to Sky I get this message.

    We are unable to offer Sky Broadband, as BT's database registers this telephone number as disconnected. You will need an active BT phone line in order to get Sky Broadband.

    My line rental/broadband is currently with Talktalk. Ex BT.

    Anyone got any ideas, or managed to switch to Sky from Talktalk.

    If I phoned them to switch, then I'd probably lose the Quidco cashback. :mad:
    Hi,l have had the same problem. l am currently with Talk Talk too.Have just registered to move my line back to BT,but that wont be done til 27th March,which might be too late for the offer.To top it all,l phoned Sky and was advised that as l am in a flat l cant place an order online anyway.it has to be done over the phone! Think l will give up and stay wth Talk Talk although l hate them!!

    we're having hassle with cashback sites - 2 days work and the order won't go through...
  • me too! 2 days wasted....
  • Tried cashbackkings and topcashback both orders went through to bank details and installation date then message to say error or not available phone this number to see whether order was processed ....
  • didnt want to phone cause cash back not paid if you speak to sky on phone. Phoned sky on second attempt to check whether purchased sky or not. This is the main sales number they said order not prossed but tried to sell me package at full price... what a surprise
