I have saved over £700.00 by not having Sky anymore so cold from me. I could have bought the 'free' tv 3 times over with what is in my pocket and not theirs. Everything that sky show is just repeat after repeat. Sky programmes eventually come on freeview anyway or just buy the series box sets and watch it when you want. They are cheap enough. Please don't tell me they are still showing Star Trek deep Space Nine and the Next Generation. Save yourself some money and ditch them and put the money towards an extra holiday. Not giving them my hard earned has paid for my new 50" smart tv, 2 x LG Bluray players and 2 x Youview boxes. Remember some of your hard earned goes to those guys who try and kick a ball in the back of a net every Saturday, and usually fail.

yawn

Think so, looks like a new deal in place

Can't find this deal, has it expired?

That's what was showing in my account too up until this morning.

I've come to work and it appears the TV had been delivered to a neighbour!

Yes thats right

Indeed. Does it show in the Claim Rewards section when you log in, with no link to click on to actually claim it?

Well mine has manually been added to my account but who knows if i will get it ??!

What a complete joke

Same here. I've now spoken with three different people from the Online Sales team who have all confirmed that I should get the TV but it'll have to be 'manually added' by the Offers team if it doesn't get automatically added in a few days. Two of the three people I spoke with, said they'll "keep an eye" on my account and will have it added manually if it doesn't get added by itself in a few days.

The install happened yesterday. I've been given a date of 10th March when those keeping an eye on my account will get in touch with me.

It's not looking very hopeful.

Having real trouble with this, wanting to get the deal but when i go to order comes up with the error "We are currently unable to offer you an upgrade to Sky Multiscreen

This might be because you have an outstanding Home Move order that is currently being processed. Please contact our dedicated Home Move team on 03332 008 000 for more information."

I dont have an outstanding Home Move order and i have rung CS and they cant see any problem as to why i cant get the offer. I've tried chatting to the online chat but the one adviser i managed to get through to ended up ignoring me and i haven't been able to get on since. Funnily enough when i selected i wanted sky q i got straight through to an adviser but he couldn't help me.

Any advice?

Thanks. Signed up for sky tv today. I'll look into this after initial set up.

TV arrived today, before installation. You can claim by logging into your Sky account and going to "Claim my rewards" it should show up as FREE LG TV and simply click the button, two days later it arrives.

nope nothing ... had the install still nothing

once i applied from the deal and picked an install date then ab email landed from sky to claim my free reward e.g the tv and this will arrive within 90 days. hopefully much sooner.

No, haven't been installed yet. Check your emails

was this after they installed it ?

Sky sent me an email, then logged in an claimed. Took about 3 days to arrive

cheers op just claimed today for the tv. :smirk:

Tv arrived today!! Three days before my installation. This deal seems to good to be true, telly looks great

I've always been offered Multiroom subscription discount eg £2.75/month for 9 months so the thought of paying £11.25/month doesn't appeal to me even for a 'free' TV

vm b can tun bg I f BBC in g inv 2

Rip off . say's one of cost of £219. So much for a free TV. No such thing.

Same here if im honest i have put a complaint in as the service is a joke i i asked where is my TV and the guy said what TV i said the one i ordered if not cancel my multi-screen i wonder how many people got this maybe its a way of getting people to join and not sending the TV well if i dont get one i will be cancelling everything with SKY...

Not much I'm afraid. I called Sky too, and got through to the Online Sales team, who told me that they can't deal with orders completed over the phone. The guy I spoke with said he'll get in touch with the person who completed my order over the phone and ask him to give me a call. It hasn't happened yet, nor has the TV arrived.

any luck im still waiting ...

Really im still chasing mine im not sure if its coming or not ?

Can you replace the free standard Sky box with the Sky+ box that records yourself or would you need to pay extra for it to work as a recorder?
I ask because I am out of contract so when negotiating a new deal with 50+ percent off plus an account credit if I can also get them to upgrade the old Sky+ box for a newer one with a larger HDD I would then have a second spare Sky+ box that could be used in the second room. Seems a stretch to get all those things.

*TV arrived today.

I has same problem and was concerned..initially called and advised that the online team would manually add" the TV to my account at some point in next few days. I wasn't happy with this so called them back and asked to speak to online team and get them to process it whilst I wait...they did that and to actually arrived today!!

Thanks a lot for that info

Thanks a lot for that info

Same issue happened to me and i called spoke to sky and they said they needed to manually add the TV and said it could take 72 hours ! The tv will just come it wont show on the account... its annoying tho

Yes. The order went through fine online and I got a reference number for it. Merely a few seconds later, I got an email asking me to ring Sky, saying they needed more information to complete the order.

I called them and was told the order didn't go through because of a 'technical issue'. The guy on the phone complete the order and I asked him to reconfirm (verbally) that the TV was included. He told me that I would receive a voucher to claim the TV 'after' the installation took place.

So I just wondered how you managed to claim the TV even before installation occurred.

Did you order this ?

Can't believe how quick this arrived?

Luckily took a retentions offer on Saturday with 60% off and some account credit. Signed up to this and added multiroom the day after.. claimed Sunday too for the TV and it's arrived today! Doesn't even get installed for another week..

I ordered this after seeing it on sunday. Tv came on tuesday; not even installed multi room till thursday! Tv is basic though with one hdmi and usb. But cant complain; its free

Sky put these "deals" out to commence a new 12 month contract! They aren't going to negotiate another deal.
You will keep your present discounts but only for the original 12 month period. Then your on full whack again!

Can anyone help? I've got full package in half price offer till August. If I take multiroom, which is 12 month contract, can I still negotiate a deal at end of my half price deal/threaten to cancel or am I over a barrel paying full price till my multiroom subscription is up?

im sure you can do this.

I would keep chasing. it took me 5 different advisors before I could get it addressed

The multiroom box isn't full blown recorder though?

Good deal if you have at least 12 months left on your contract, however if you are out of contract or close to the end of your contract, then this deal will extend your contract by a further 12 months, in which case, in my opinion, it's not worth it.

cruisecars did you manage to get this offer eventually? unfortunately my broadband order is delayed as it has been installed but there is a fault with the outside phone line not working so its preventing me upgrading whilst they investigate further

just a note to anyone interested in this offer you won't be able to upgrade online if you have a new order with Sky until it's completed. I ordered broadband last week and discovered this

Ordered both TV and samsung tablet and already had £300 back from Sky on the recommend a friend promo and over £100 Quidco cashback on top of all that so I have done well.

I'm signing up to sky today and hoping to add this deal once subscription confirmed...Does anyone know when it expires?

I think you can pair via the remote or sky service app?

what are thosseeee ?

Yup, fantastic deal, ordered, installation next Thursday. 100% no brainer.

Cracking deal for Multiroom.

Great retention deals can be had. I cancelled in Oct last year. Had an email in my final week of notice period offering me 50% off. So i spoke to them regarding it, stated that the fact they offered me a deal shows that they are flexible with pricing. Explained that i do not want any new equipment, its just access to the service which doesnt cost them anything in itself. 2 advisers wouldn't budge, but eventually i got through to one who buckled and gave me 70% off IIRC.
All Sky channels (incl Movies & Sport)
3 x multi room subs
Sky Go extra
Sky Broadband unltd (threw in an extra WiFi extender as we have a large house)
Sky Talk anytime

and i pay £51 a month. I think that around 70% off. So great deals can be had if you get the right person on chat. Just alternate your queries between online chat and over the phone.

Amazing. Ordered. Thanks OP!

the tv is fantastic! I got one 8 months ago so this could be a newer model but the picture quality is great

I'm tempted but will this place me in a 12 month contract again as mine due for renewal soon

It really does depend who you get through to!

I was paying £26.65 for BB and Line rental any time but I really wanted the free TAB E, spoke to 2 advisor's, no joy then got to speak to a manager who offered the free TAB E if I was to re-activate my TV on Original Bundle for an extra £8ish a month (10 month contract)

Result! :-)

​Yes. Just stick your card in it. Then ring sky and they will pair the card to whatever box you put it in.

​The multiroom subs I have are full sky+ HD boxes. So full functionality. Can pick cheap 2nd hand sky+HD boxes up from the bay or cash converters if you can't get sky to throw one in.

SkyQ doesn't stream anything, all the content apart from the on demand comes through the dish.

The multi room boxes (SkyQ mini) uses the wifi signal (not broadband speed) to send the signals to the box from your main SkyQ box,
If the wifi signal is weak the boxes have inbuilt power line adaptors and will send it this way instead.

If you had a 1mb connection SkyQ would run perfectly but your on demand would be slow

All 4K channels will be through the satellite when they launch in the summer

I hear u!, hahahahaha, thanx. :-)

true but its very cheap so its worth having for me !

Yeah but those things aren't optional! SKY is that's why I binned them

Literally just switched to Virgin because Sky didn't offer me anything! gutted!
Well done, take the deal and run.

I think this is a great price!

haha yeah always handy that !

Yeh if u switch it on!

if i have a spare hd + box will that work ?

It's a crap box! doesn't record.

I hate sky, why don't they just being down prices rather than insisting on huge monthly premiums and giving discounts when you try to leave or decide to join.

VERY interesting, how come this appeared in my activity alerts (a post from Sky Digital)?

back on now - it was down when I posted. Were updated the upgrade family offer :wink:

ZGEMMA H2S. This madness has to stop.

Interesting, but you could go more low end on LG's range with that TV. 1x HDMI & 1x Scart are the only inputs. Its a £150 TV.

This looks like the same TV that was part of their new sign-up deal late last year. I took it then and as a bedroom TV it is perfectly acceptable.

When I signed up, and when I spoke with them a couple of weeks ago this was one of 3 options - 32" TV, Samsung tablet E, or half price on all bundles (so Family bundle for £18 instead of £36).

Thanks op got this on top off my movies package plus phone and internet all for £51 a month im more than happy. So heat from me

​Yes now £18 on quidco

sky upgrades not working on Quidco - anyone?

Already had SkyGo Extra and was considering multiscreen. This is a no-brainer with free installation, free TV and only £6.25 per month extra. £21 TopCashBack may yet track too.

Thanks Op.

You have to pay £49 if you have ever had multiroom with Sky.

I have just purchased this offer, there is a (upto 90 days) waiting list for the TV.

I know that - that's why I want to stay at £17 - why would I want to pay more? If they've offered it to me once, they can damn well offer it to me again!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

As far as I'm aware, the Silver box is UHD ready and I cannot see anywhere that says the UHD content will be streamed rather than via the dish?

To stream 4K (which this box is mainly for, other than it's new touted features) you need around 20mb free (constantly) bandwidth on your broadband so if your using mobiles or other connected devices in your house whilst trying to stream you need to take this into account.

Why is it only good if you have 30mb BB?

You need to look on here to show that is just plain wrong.... will post link later if you haven't found it. Going to do it all now with relatives. Hope to get this and a Free tablet oh and a better box for maybe £49 or nowt. Relative no loyalty but I don't think that really counts.
Depends what you are calling threatening to cancel. If you speak on chat saying I am thinking of cancelling then that is useless. Say listen I want to cancel - make them put the notice on your account. Wait or reconnect to Stay with Sky (search it) chat and start telling them what YOU want - don't let them dictate.

Yeah, I will do. I have been trying to have an online chat, but I can't get through (probably because of this deal!!)

Call them up im sure they will wave it

I'm sure it is, but if there is anyway I can not pay the £49 (i.e. as apparantly I meet the criteria to not pay it!!) it would be even better.

Well its still a good deal with £49 added.

No it's still available but you need to pay a 1off £49 fee for the box? I've been on live chat an because I've had multiroom in the last 12 months I would after pay the £49

I am already 9 months through a 60% off deal. Signing up to this would tie me in to 9 months at full price. In my experience Anyway. Sky rarely provides good deals at the time of threatening to cancel. I usually have to cancel, wait for disconnection, and then wait a few months for the 50%, 60%, 75% "welcome back" offers to come through the post.

ALL sky content is output at 1080i. The box isn't capable of outputting 1080p and Sky don't have the infrstructure to stream it over the air. Q is only good if you have 30mb broadband and for the most will only offer 1080p (at the minute)

Just what i wanted thanks OP was going to get a multi-room so this helps !

I tried to negotiate with them in the phone. They wouldn't give me any discount at all. I cancelled and in my 30 day notice period I received a letter offering me 50% discount which I took.

I'm the opposite. As I get older I realise that life is getting shorter and the id rather have more time with the newest tech etc

forget any team other than the team you chat to after giving your notice. The team that gave in, said it was £499 discounted to £249. I said that's not a deal thats the norm. They told me to call upgrades Upgrades over the phone offered me a 2TB for £109 which was box £49+£60 installation. I said put notes on my file. connected to chat next day - explained returns not called me back and they had offered £109 but not impressed. Box for £49 - does tie you in to 12 months though. I suppose it's retentions 1 v 0 upgrades.

Good point actually?, hmmmmmmmmmm, thanx. :-)

Funny you say that, they wanted to charge the best part of £200 - £300 when we queried on that one at the back-end of just last year, may have to look into those options again me think?, thanx. :-)

Oh and it didn't remove my current deal of 70% discount...

What makes me laugh with these companies is that they have the cheek to charge for installation yeah right don't so....

argh I am tied into Fibre for 18 months have around 6 months left tv is not tied in so will cancel that when my current discounts run out I hate looking at these deals because I am never sure if it will tie me into a new 12 month contract but would always like a new gadget will play the game in another 6 months

Shame this is limited to first time multi room subscribers. I was logged into my sky today pricing up how much a new multi room sub with recording box would cost for a conservatory when its built and was surprised the cost would only be £60 installation charge and the recording box was free. Being a long term customer with an existing multiroom sub had expected this to be more like £200.

This is a no brainer if you have sky and want another sky box in another room its a bargain !

wow a SKY deal posted on here gone HOT.... help, im gonna faint.... :smile:

yawn

My £17 contract is due to end soon, going up to £50+. Well they can stick that. If they don't keep me on at least my current simple deal (b/b, line rental, PAYT, entertainment and box sets) then I'm off and I'll just use the NOWTV boxes I've just bought.

Sky makes it's money by tying you in to a new 12 month contract. You agree to continue paying your existing (first box + sub) fees, plus the additional £11.25pm. You get a new bottom-of-th-range 32" TV plus a ~£30 to build HD box.£1000 for another year's service. They retain their customers for a negligible cost.

and £20 TCB

Signed up for this deal earlier
In the process of removing sky movies so this will replace it and still be a bit cheaper

Also I'm needing a new tv for my bedroom so a good deal for me.

My discount didn't appear to be removed when I got to checkout and saw new monthly total

​Only benefits for me were record 4 channels at once and the multi room option.

I'm in a flat and can't have normal multi room. I'm currently on a 60% discount so no way I'm giving that up

Does the basic Sky Box have analogue audio out?

I did this 6 months ago. I got a samsung hotel tele.... which they could replace it with as I agreed to under point 147.4 in the terms and conditions. it's worth about 50 quid and has a hdmi input and thats pretty much it. for what it's worth its in the boiler cupboard in the kitchen.

This will replace other deals. I currently have had 60% off for the last 3 years. Good if you want a TV. Multiroom costs me £60 a year though.

anyway to get rid of the £49 one off cost for the box ??

anyway to get rid of the £49 one off cost for the box ??

isn't most sky 1080p content pumped out at 1080i anyway? for me Q is currently a gimmick, as i get older i have realised early adoption of "new" stuff isn't always the best thing to do

That is ridiculous! I currently have a full Sky HD+ box in my bedroom but got multi room removed months ago as was considering taking out Sky Q. But might just take this and grab a free TV out of it and Sky Go Extra.

Stonking deal for existing customers.

In laws got this just before Christmas - note this is the basic Multiroom box, i.e. No recording function. TV is quite fat by current standards.

But for them it was a good deal, tv alone is worth the 130.

Saw another offer for free Galaxy tab E with upgrade to family bundle with £30 cash back, looks like freebies is Sky's new sales tactic.

http://www.sky.com/shop/offers/family/tablet/?DCMP=afc-727121&affiliate=true

Just checked. Definitely eligible to upgrade me. TV is very basic, this is the model below.

http://www.electricalexperience.co.uk/lg-32lf510b-32lf510-32-inch-led-hd-ready-television/

Drunk1 - unfortunately I think it is only available to first time Multiroom subscribers

Link is not working for me. Good find OP.

When they were doing this deal last time, the Tv was just bog standard with no Full HD or Smart function.

Great thinking that.

I already have multi room set up in one of my rooms but it has allowed me to take this offer up on a 2nd room. brilliant bargain.

More talking may time but thanks

Looks like im getting sky in the bedroom!!! Smoking hot from me!!!

A no brainer if you need a new TV and have Sky.

wonder what model it is, for £249 I would expect a smart 32" tv
Still not a bad deal :smiley:

Sounds very good to me.haven't got Sky but would be taking this if I did.
