    I accepted the following offer through Love Digital today:

    £10 Entertainment
    £10 Cinema
    £5 Box Sets
    Free HD
    Total £25 per month

    This is with a Sky Q 1TB Box for £20 install.

    Also was very lucky and got a £50 Cashback offer through my current account this morning when rejoining Sky. So means I will get 2 months free too!

    Was really pleased with that so finally made a decision and went for it!

    Nice!

    But i thought that if you have Sky Q the £12 multriscreen charge is mandatory?

    He did offer multiscreen for £12 per month, but I declined. It's not mandatory, though I believe if you are going for the 2TB box you would be charged a much higher "install" fee if you don't take multiscreen. (£199 I believe). I'm just having the 1TB box, so could keep the fee down to £20 install with no multiscreen.

    You do have to have multiscreen with a 2TB box if you want to "unlock" Ultra HD though.

    Thanks for the idea of love digital! I've been hunting cashback sites/forums/chats with Sky. No significant discounts. Rang these guys up based off your post.

    Got

    Entertainment, HD, Fibre Max, Line Rental
    Total £45 per month
    £10 one off install fee

    Sky Chat guys would only haggle down to £53 for the above from the advertised £55. So I am very happy :)

    That's great news! I can't take all the credit, as Gavgooner recommended them in an earlier post!

    I was quite impressed with Love Digital, they were very efficient, explained everything clearly and there was no hard sell at all.

    Glad you got a great offer as well! :)

    Contacted LoveDigital through facebook, was able to get them to call me and they offered me:


    Sky Q box
    Sky Sports HD
    Sky Entertainment HD
    18 month contract
    ...for £20pm.



    No install costs, although I did have to wait 9 days until a slot was available! Sound good?

    That sounds like a great deal! Especially for sports around this time of year!

    I had to wait a bit longer for mine - 21 days for the first available date! Not bothered though, as the deals are really good!

    That's a very good deal. Is LoveDigital just a London based deal? or is it all over uk.

    I think they are Sky approved installers for London and the South of England. I'm in Weymouth and got the deal.
