    Yes.

    We did it recently - they will charge you about £40 for their 'moving home' package which basically means someone coming along to set up the system in your new place and will give you a new dish if necessary (no need to unscrew the old one from the wall !!).

    Ring Sky (don't forget to get the number from 'saynoto0870') and take the 'moving home' option.

    ** Getting back in the swing of saving again.... **

    :T :T :T :T :T
    Trying to find the best deals to save as much as we can..........
  • If there's a dish already installed at your new house, just take your box and plug it into the Sky cable as usual - just phone them and change your address. No charge for this!

    thanks to all for responding,
    there is no dish there
    any chance we can remove dish ourselves and take it along?

    Check with Sky - I thought they would give you a new dish as part of the deal.

    They didn't when we moved. We viewed the house saw the dish there and so decided to leave our dish behind. When we moved in the previous owner had taken the dish with them. Sky charged us for the new dish.
  • I have been a customer of sky for 1 year 8 months, do you think it would be cheaper for me to cancel my current agreement & start a new one in my new house?

    How long before I become a new customer??

    i have just moved house and cancelled sky cos they wanted me to pay £40 for them to put a new dish up at my new house . i have been a customer for 7 year . Anyway - a week later i got a postcard saying that they would move my sky account to the new address and put a new dish up free of charge as a special offer ! my sky box is 7 and has been playing up so am holding out to be a new customer again or take the new deal off them with a new box!

    wait and see what the postie brings
