My OH has been looking at this company to cover our Satellite box and dish as they are much cheaper than Sky. Does anyone know if they are any good?

No idea if they are any good - but if you Google for them there are plenty of instances where they cold call and mailshot people whose boxes are not out of warranty and in some cases, do not even subscribe to Sky!

Co-incidentally I got a letter from them today - and our Sky+ is not out of warranty until August - the letter is now filed under 'B' for bin. Any company that goes touting for business is suspicious in my eyes - but that's just me.

I've only heard bad things about them and besides you don't need it. If the box goes faulty ring Sky if they say you have to pay ask for cancellations and they will fix it or replace it free.

Save your money, if you have a problem then Sky charge £65 to fix whatever the problem is and give a 6 month warranty, however if you threaten to cancel they will come out for free, you really dont need to buy a extended warranty for your Sky box
