    U have to sub to 2 prem £5 each channels to get your sky + sub free. If someone else in the house lives with you. Cancel sky and get them to ring up and sign up fro sky plus. You get box £49 free install and plus 3 months free and you dont have to have multi-room
    Kind Regards

    At the moment we have Sky sports+movies+ disney and to be honest I never watch it!! I didnt think u could cancel and ring up and get it again? Thought they checked for any offers at this address :confused:

    I actually want two sky plus boxes - one to replace the one we got about a year and a half ago that is beginning to play up and one for me - so will see if i can get them both for £49 or if I need to find a sneaky way around it. When you go for this offer does anyone know if you get tied into a 12 month contract again?

  • Here's what I am wondering! We recently cancelled our Sky subscription (about 2 months ago) so we use the box for Freesat from Sky. What's the minimum subscription payment we'd need to make if we signed up for this £49 Sky + offer? (trying to keep monthly outgoings down!)...I'm really missing E4! We can't get Freeview yet where we live. But Sky+ would be super handy!

    Or would they even let me sign up for it?

    Hope someone knows the answer. Sorry to be thick!

    Well as you could sign up as a new customer and get sky + for £49, free install, 3 months free subscription, free sky + subscription. But you would have to stay in a 12 month contract, thats normal with anything like that. Emm with cheapest subscription you can get 2 mixes of channels without sky sports or movies here for £15 per month.

    I hope this helps.
    Kind Regards

    Yes for 12 months,

    Whats wrong with that

    You tie into a 12 month contract with

    NTL, Telewest, BT, Mobile Phones

    and loads of other things to name a few.

    You will get tied into the 12 month contract again yes. The boxes cost a lot more than £49, they get the money back from you staying with them for 12 months.

    Same thing with printers, the printer costs £49, but the cartridges to use it costs £25 ago, why is that? lol, becuase the printer costs a lot more.
