I don't even see the value at £30.

If you have a PS3, PS4, 360 or Xbox One you can:

Download BBC iPlayer and Demand 5 for free.

Get a 6 month subscription to Now TV for £24.99. £4.16 a month and you get Sky 1, Sky Atlantic, Fox, Gold, Sky Living, Comedy Central, Discovery, MTV, Disney, Nickelodeon, Nickelodeon Jr. and Sky Arts.

Get Netflix at £7.49 for HD and you are laughing and still only paying £11.65 a month total.

Just stream the football or watch it down the pub. You'll have to do that for the Champion's League games anyway unless you are willing to pay extra for BT sports.

As a disclaimer I still have a Virgin Media TV package and literally 99% of the channels are just junk.

This is how much it should cost normally. Prices are a joke.

Ditched TV license and Sky.

Now TV movies and entertainment roughly £6pm, the same for Netflix.

No regrets and no ITV. Winner.

At the minute it's possible to get 60% off + £100 credit. If you've cancelled just go on sky chat and say you've seen a deal for 60% off + £100 credit and that if it's still available you'd like to accept that offer. If one says no, end the chat and start again.

link not working

Good deal, signed up to just their broadband package the other day (+ line rental), which is free for the broadband, £17.40pm for the line rental, £100 M&S voucher and £70 quidco tracked.

Should cost in the region of £40 for the year after the cashback for unlimited broadband but then will have to find a better deal after 12 months

How do I get this deal? The link doesn't work and I can't find it on the carphone warehouse website.

This is how much it should cost normally. Prices are a joke.

link please?

I can';t find Sky tv anywhere on the Carphonewarehouse site
only the now boxes/package which is not the tv deal

At the minute it's possible to get 60% off + £100 credit. If you've cancelled just go on sky chat and say you've seen a deal for 60% off + £100 credit and that if it's still available you'd like to accept that offer. If one says no, end the chat and start again.

Hi guys sorry for the late reply I got my deal instore at the Glasgow silverburn store

just get a zgemma box

I got this at £25 a month for 12mths about June time last year so sorry to vote cold for the extra £5 per month

I just took out a new contract with Sky (family TV bundle with multiscreen, fibre 38Mbps unlimited) at £54 per month. I'm still in cooling off period as TV was installed last week and broadband hasn't been fitted yet.

This deal + the Virgin SuperFibre 50 and Talk Weekends bundle on the carphone warehouse website at 4.99 + 17.99 (total 23.99) comes out at the same price - do you think it's worth it to cancel the whole thing and take out these packages for the extra 12Mbps from Virgin?

This is a behind the counter instore deal, not available online. Ask for the deal on the PinPoint tablet :smile:

I work at sky and looking at this deal it's your best bet for the next 12 months

I don't even see the value at £30.

'This is for new customers only or those that haven't had sky for 12 months. No credit check. I have ordered this in my missus name after I cancelled my subscription 3 months ago and it all seems to have went through fine.'

OP, don't Sky go on surname/address when seeing if you've had a subscription in the previous 12 months? Missus is girlfriend with different surname? Can you have it at same address?

Good deal btw. Sky is hideously overpriced usually.

Good deal, signed up to just their broadband package the other day (+ line rental), which is free for the broadband, £17.40pm for the line rental, £100 M&S voucher and £70 quidco tracked.

Hi with regards to the above post, i signed up with sky about 6 months ago about my £100 marks and spencer voucher and they said to me im not elegible as i went through a 3rd party link for the offer. so best to just ring and verify

thanks

Hi I was with sky my deal finishes next on 20th March. I called them to cancel as I was on Variety package on 50% off £15.00 a month. They called me back and told me I can keep the 50% off and they will add £100 credit on my account so I would pay only £80.00 for the whole year comes to around £6.67 a month. What do you think shall I wait for a better deal or should have accepted this deal. At the moment I don't really need it unless it's really cheap

Nice try sky but I'm rid of your rubbish "contracts" once and for all

Ditched TV license and Sky.

Now TV movies and entertainment roughly £6pm, the same for Netflix.

No regrets and no ITV. Winner.

seems a good strategy to get people through the doors. good deal nonetheless. :smiley:

Sky's days are numbered, as are the 200K+ a week salaries which the players earn.

30 pound a month is still overpriced in my book. I recently bought a firestick for 25 quid. Installed Kodi and subscribe to sportsmania for 1 pound a week. For that, I get numerous sports channels from around the world + loads of on demand TV and movies which are recent, unlike the old stuff which sky regurgitate.

I can get this exact deal for up to 10 people if anyone is interested as i work for Sky.

New customers only

PM if interested (let me know if you just Want £30 bundle or Broadband as well)
I will need your first name/last name and email address to send you a code from the Sky site

you wont get that again, its gone up to £30 now

£30.30 a month

inc the £100 think its £22 month

Just tried to get a discount, but hit a brick wall. Tried to knock a fiver off and then got stroppy when I said that new customers could get it for £30. I disconnected before I did something too stupid.
If I cancel, how long do I have to wait before I can sign up to a new contract??

From where did u get sportsmania for £1 a month?

how's everyone got on with caTASHtrope code? :smiley:
Thinking of doing it as well

Just tried sky chat and had the 60% discount and £100 credit applied on first attempt - Sky Family Pack for £14.40 per month (usually £36).

Back later

Please post here if you got the code i sent (might take awhile)

Grenadines. ..

how do I message you?
would also want multi room with recording box if available? I think they are giving away free 2tb box until some time in March.

Streaming - dodgy sites, lose connection, constant buffering.
Going down the pub - traipsing out in the rain, having to buy drinks so it works out more expensive in the long run and being surrounded by half-cut tw*ts on many occasions

So yes susbscription sport channels can seem appealing. It's shame they charge so much for it (normally)

HD or no? Asking as interested. With Sky you also get the on Demand feature for many programs which I have found very useful.


Netflix is not a like for like replacement for Sky Movies.

And 'just streaming the footy' is in no way a replacement for watching on Sky Sports.

Add to the package, Sky Go and overall its not too shabby for £30. Dont get me wrong even thats still too much for me lol but in reality its pretty good for all that you get, if you can make use of it.

Just said ive heard of a 60% discount offer and a £100 credit to account - if available i'd like to join again.

Does anyone know...can you get 60% off any package like this and can you add extras you don't already have ie multiroom? I'm currently in my notice period, I could get my partner to sign up as a new customer or try my luck with this. We currently have the full package with sports and movies HD and unlimited standard broadband. They tried to offer me a fiver off so I cancelled. What's the best deals people have been getting? Don't really want to be without sky at all, but really want the whole lot with Internet and multiroom plus the £100 for a decent price. How should I proceed?

Hi thanks the contract I am on now runs out in May will I still be able to ask for this offer in June as I won't be able to ask for it at the moment will i

the codes that caTASHtrope are giving out are legit. I was a bit sceptical about clicking the link on the email so i went onto the sky website (http://www.sky.com/shop/bundles-offers/introduceafriend/) popped in the code and away we went :smiley:
will actually use code later tonight when purchasing :smiley:

I cancelled mine about the same time (14th Feb and got this deal on 21st Feb). It's worth a shot as you have nothing to lose, if the rep doesn't give it to you just end the chat, wait an hour and start a new one.

Log into sky website (on PC or phone), under help & support click on contact us. Then Sky TV, then cancel sky. To the side it will give you different options, choose online chat & wait for the rep.

I worded it
Hi (rep name), I have seen a deal offering 60% off TV package along with £100 credit. I would like to take you up on this offer if it is still available. Thank you

They will go through the usual security checks, then tell you yes or no. They many offer 50% & £100 credit but as 50% is the norm I would try for the 60%. It all depends who you speak to.

COLD! 60-75% discounts available +£100 bill credit

SEE previous HUKD posts how to get this discount on chat.

It always amuses me that there are folk out there who will complain bitterly about paying £12/month for the BBC, then happily throw away more than 7 times that for Sky.

Ditched Sky last year and have never looked back. It's a complete rip-off. While this deal is good (and I've added heat) based on their normal pricing, good luck when the 12 months are up - you'll be haggling for discounts or looking for alternatives as this package would be upwards of £70pm.

There are far, far cheaper alternatives.

ONE-OFF COST
Refurb/open box Freesat or Freeview box from eBay: £50-80 (pause/play/rewind.ff/record and series link like Sky+). I sold my Sky+ box which paid for a brand new, customer returned (but unused) box. Obviously, you don't need this if you have a decent tuner built-in to your TV.

MONTHLY OPTIONS
NOW TV 6 month pass - £18 on eBay
NOW TV 4 month movie pass - £18 on eBay

Your NOW TV subscription gives you usage on 4 devices, same as Sky Go Extra. All the Box Sets and On Demand stuff is also included in HD. Live channels are in HD if you have an Apple TV. There are constant offers on the NOW TV boxes, too, meaning these passes can be had even cheaper.

Netflix - £8 per month
Amazon Prime - £79 per year (inc Next Day Delivery, Prime Music etc)

Both offer exclusive stuff that isn't on Sky - House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, Bloodline, Better Call Saul, The Man in the High Castle etc.

Even if you had ALL of this, you're still only paying £21 (pro rata) per month. For sports you can buy a Sky Sports Day Pass as and when you need it. Enthusiasts of other sports (e.g. Cycling, Tennis, Winter Sports etc) can get a Eurosport subscription for £5 per month.

An Android box will give you access to ALL the NOW TV, Netflix, Amazon, Eurosport, iPlayer etc apps to plug into your TV for as little as £30 or less: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B019BCYEG8 - or you can just use your phone and a Chromecast.

These are just the legal options. Sky's pricing basically encourages piracy, especially when there are hardly any matches on anyway. A quick glance at Kodi every weekend reveals loads of matches, streaming in HD, that aren't even on Sky or BT Sport. No wonder people go the dodgy route.

Is this deal available to current Sky Talk customers - with no Sky TV subscription?

Just trying ringer the 60% discount and £100 credit and been asked where I saw offer

Sorry just going back to the 50-60% off and £100 credit does this discount also apply to sports and movies or just the family pack?

To get

Just been told they don't have access to this offer
on live chat

I hate how greedy and expensive they. Then how few games they show on SkySports. All it ever seems to be is watching Jeff Sterling and some C-List ex-footballer watching the match and going "ooh that was close".

Hi I have just tried and was told that live chat don't have access to that offer

Did you get the offer on live chat please

Why not just install KODI and get it all for free?

tried live chat and no idea about the 60% and £100 credit offer. I can't cancel my sub on the off chance they will then offer me it as I am a legacy HD pack subscriber so get the Formula 1 included which I would have to pay £25 for sports pack should I lose it.

Really thinking of cancelling altogether and just getting a freesat recorder and now tv box though. Still paying nearly £400 quid a year just for a bit of TV.

Live chat :smiley:

Ask for your old package then just query for another one.

Hi did you ask for the 60% off and the £100 credit

my words were pretty much "Hi, ive heard there is a 60% discount avaiable for returning customers and £100 credit online, can you see if it is available please and if so i'd be interesting in coming back to Sky"

Think the advisers name was Shirmeen...think!

Thanks was you not already a customer then

Just signed up in Carphone Warehouse Lisburn they said u can ring to process too 02892607165

I did exactly this not too long ago, I actually accidentally went the chat route when the call back team were not offering much and I had emails offering discounts if I open up a chat. I did that and ended up having 50% off a complete package including movies etc and £100 credit plus more discount on the multi-screen and legacy HD pack (which they normally dont like to discount). I have done this in the past figuring I can always cancel the cancellation before the end of the month if I want to keep it and access to F1. I don't watch any other sports so sports pack is not worth it to me.

I cancelled in Dec 2015, so i was returning, The 60% is for returning customers i guess.

Because, dodginess aside, the reliability is patchy at best. I watch loads of cycling etc - try finding reliable Eurosport 1/2 streams in English. There aren't any or the picture stinks and breaks up constantly then it's gone the next week. £5 pm gives me reliable HD streaming on as many devices as I want with zero faffing about. It all depends what you want.

There's a place for both free and paid.

So what did you say then? Did you threaten to cancel? To be honest, it will need to be really cheap, I've already bought a 320gb Humax box (£35 on ebay) and will just use a now tv box at £7 a month for other stuff....the live F1 will have to be found elsewhere, it's only 10 races - hardly worth £400 a year.

Agreed and recording is must have these days as i like to catch up my shows at night and weekends.

Although saying that i have downloaded a Android emulator in my laptop and installed UK TV NOW and MOBDRO which are good for the Sky movie channels and more. I just connect the laptop to TV via hdmi.

Any way of getting good discounts and credit to account for existing customers coming to the end of there contract

Yes. The choice that comes from a private company having a virtual monopoly on TV movie and sports rights. Rolls Royce indeed.

Stop Sky propaganda.

Check all your folders (spam etc) and you should have it, if not wait a few hours

I already have the full to package all sports, movies multi room and broadband my contract is up in May just wondered if I could get a new contract now with a great deal

Sorry no SkyQ deals yet

I got an email saying if I returned to Sky I could get 60 percent off plus the £100 credit but as I no longer have the Sky box I was told I could only get 35 percent discount.

Did others find the same thing? Did anyone manage to go back to Sky and get 60 percent off including a new box?

Install KODi and install the Phoenix addon. Never need Sky again. I've done it for testing purposes only by the way.

Thanks For Looking Mate!

You're obviously installing it incorrectly, and by the way it is not "illegal or dodgy".

Yep - I got a very similar deal too nearly 12 months ago (which I saw advertised on HUKD :innocent:) so I also am wondering what to do in a months time when my deal expires :neutral_face: .

You can record on Kodi.

Well that's why Sky have NowTV as their back up plan.

I didn't realise you could do that on Kodi so that's very interesting - thank you!

We've been on the 60% + £100 credit offer. It's their last ditch deal for people who've seen through their cancellations and had their channels go off.

It applies to all TV bundles and you can move your package up and down whilst retaining the discount for 12 months.

For those on a budget the Original Bundle works out free for 12 months if you're on the '60% + £100.' £8 per month (discounted price) x 12 months = £96 total. Which is completely soaked up by the bill credit. Original Bundle includes all the entertainment channels such as Sky1, Atlantic and Living in SD as well as the Sky+ recording features.

Has anyone tried the cancellation with sky tv and broadband, I have both and just cancelled a chat with sky, they said I can cancel the TV or all of it. I read they can switch off the broadband early and as I need the internet for work I cant afford to be without a signal - Im not sure if I could get the 60% off and £100 credit or even 50% off if I just cancel the Sky tv as they will be getting paid for the broadband and phone line so not as much incentive for sky to offer a deal. Just wanted to check if anyone has had both sky tv and broadband, and got the 60% £100 credit or near that offer and if so did they cancel everything or just the TV?

Bought mine just now

Well, now TV was a reactive response from Sky to the streaming services that were being adopted by their customers and in turn ditching Sky in their millions. They can make nowhere near the same level of profits as the satellite subscription model - essentially a fixed cost model - makes for them compared to revenues from the Now TV platform (a fixed + variable cost based model) .
Each incremental Now TV customer provides a pittance in extra revenue (compared to a new satellite customer for the same channels), and with an increasing customer base on the Now TV platform they will need to invest in greater server capacity, IT backend support etc.
Now TV would be nowhere as profitable as the satellite platform for Sky, but it was a business critical decision they had to make before it was too late.

Or even invest in a TV which is smart and has recording (if you planned on buying a TV that is), and jsut buy a external hard drive or USB drive and it's good to go. Saves having to pay money for a box to do it.

I just went on live chat and they offered me a pathetic £5 off so ended up giving my 30 day notice. I will sign up using my wifes name as new customer.

just had the cancellation chat. im on the 30 day stare down with sky now ( every year i go thru this nonsense)

did a bit of a price comparison with virgin - who want 103quid a month for what sky charge me 50 for.

having said that...having read the comments here im sorely tempted to bin the lot, and go the Freeview + kodi/netflix model. unfortunately the kodi live sports experience is extremely poor.

would sorely miss the recording features mind you.

will update on how the 30 day stare down goes

I had 12 month 50% off monthly package ended 2 months ago so that was really a pathetic offer.

No champions league, Rubbish premier league games, terrible commentators
Save your money

I'm an existing customer of SKY & I've finally had enough of the crap offers as well time after time! I have ditched the movies & sports, on my way to ditching my broadband / line rental then finally in 1 months time the TV package, So long SKY, You treat new customer like gods & kings but existing customers like total crap!. Yes I know all the little tricks you can try like girlfriends names / live chat, keep phoning back etc, I'm widowed with young daughter, no girlfriend, never had much luck with live chat , phoning back etc. I've had ok offers but not the greatest of offers, now it's time for a change, a change for the better, a change for SKY to meet it's maker IMHO or it could read the forum & give existing customers the same deals as new customers! Just a thought! ; / )

If anyone wants this deal PM me, I can give you a code

Standard can cost -£50 for 1 year.
How?
Ask a friend or relative who has Sky to recommend you.
They get £150 (which they may give you).
When you join, you also get £150 pre-paid Mastercard.
Between you, you get 2 x £150 = £300.

1 year Sky = £20 x 12 = £240 plus £10 set up = £250.
Can cancel after 12 months = £50 profit.
New box and dish included.

Yeah I have but still no code. Happy to wait for a bit but can I just check, you sent it to .co.uk and not.com?

Thanks

Anyone wants the £150 referral PM me.

Don't patronise me. I know exactly how to install Kodi and every add-on under the sun. It's a time-consuming pain in the rear end, especially when you want it on multiple devices, and everybody know the streams go down all the time. It's a hobby for the technically-minded, not a solution for the masses.

And I didn't say it was illegal, I mentioned "dodginess". Watching subscription services without a paid sub is, at the very least, against the TOS. Next you'll be saying it's perfectly okay to use cracked versions of Photoshop or Microsoft Office from torrent sites. Since most streams require a VPN to watch, something tells me your ISP (and their need to abide by whatever has been blocked by the High Court) might agree.

It may be a victimless "crime", it may even be unenforceable in the real world, but don't try to pretend watching streams of Sky Sports and Game of Thrones you haven't paid for is perfectly above board when we all know damn well it isn't.

sorry if someone has asked this already but how long do u have to sign up for ??

It is only "a time-consuming" exercise for the less technically adept amongst us. Patience will bring rewards (in everything).

good deal, hot

True, there is no choice because, your BBC have chosen th epath of bullying and extorting cheap money from vulnerable people instead of competing with sky. Address the root cause of the near monopoly that sky enjoys. I enjoy have the basic form of sky, I am being paid to use it as I had free lg tv and + £120 cashback + £75 credit on my account which is better value to me than to pay the BBC tax. Tell your BBC to stop bullying and harrassing single mums at home and the vulnerable in the society for their days are numbered

When you don’t need a TV licence
You do not need a TV licence to catch-up on television programmes in BBC iPlayer.

When you do need a TV licence
You need a TV Licence if you watch or record programmes “live” programmes. That means watching or recording at the same time (or virtually the same time) as they’re being broadcast, or distributed to the public in any other way. In BBC iPlayer, you do this using the Watch Live (simulcast) option. Anyone in the UK watching or recording television as it's being broadcast or simulcast on any device – including mobiles, laptops and PCs – must, by law, be covered by a valid TV licence.

As a general rule, if you’re watching a programme on a computer or other device at the same time as it’s being shown on TV, then the programme is “live” so you need a TV licence. If you use the live rewind function to restart a live programme or rewind a live stream for up to 2 hours, you also need a TV licence. This is because you’re still accessing the live simulcasts. Most UK households will already be covered by an existing TV licence for their main TV set.

You have nothing to prove, they have to prove that you watch live TV. Unless you invite them to your house and give them tea or coffee seated in the couch and watch live tv with them, they can never prove that you watch live TV

now tv is the way forward get yourself a plex 12 month sub job done cold from me

I've had any for years and only keep it for movies and sports. To me they still have the best offer for that without using android boxes and watching buffering football . This is a good price relative to their silly list price . I never watch any of their 136 junk channels with 20 mins advertising to the hour.

I just don't watch live tv. If they want to take umbrage with that, they have to prove I do. Good luck with their mythical radar vans, etc.

I'm happy to pay for the content I access - I work in a creative industry and don't like seeing people not being compensated for their work and services!

Thankfully we live in a country where the innocent remain so until proven guilty. The BBC have to obtain evidence that an offence is being committed. That is, that live broadcasts are being watched or recorded. If no evidence of this can be obtained, the BBC have no case.

I've received an email with the 60% off and £100 credit offer - ends in 5 hours ish according to the message.

I was going to ignore it due to previous bad experience with sky CS department and being overcharged etc but as someone said it might be worth it just to be able to pause and record again!! I don't watch much tv so that facility free for a year will be great.

Live chat is too busy atm hopefully I remember to take up that offer before midnight!! *inserts reminders on phone !!*

Nothing comes close to a sky box, I have tried now TV / plex / kodi/ top end freeview boxes but in comparison are all inferior.

As has already been mentioned there is no onus on you to prove you have licence. Just because you have access to, for example the iplayer, does not mean you are required to have a TV licence (noun), not license (verb).

​Just called up to renegotiate a deal and they said the best they could offer was 10% off so cancelled. Waiting to see if they get back to me, if not I'll sign up in Mrs name. I hope it pans out!

People still subscribe to Sky TV? Who knew that adverts were so popular.

I think there is a way to record too, onto a memory card or USB Stick. But I am still new to Kodi so havent tried setting it up yet.

​Try again later. I got it from there and know other people that have too

Do have to change surname? The online system refused to let my wife join. Had to enter her maiden and married surname to sign up. It refused to accept her surname claiming already had a sky account in the last 12 months, when she did not.

Cheers, I never knew this.

They easily gather evidence. That's why so many people are prosecuted successfully and get criminal records because of it. You have been warned.

I already have this deal, I was wondering if there was anything in regards to broadband?

How do they "easily" gather evidence?

Just curious to know.

Thanks for the reply! Time to get haggling then I think!

Have some heat op and my thanks. I cancelled about 2 weeks ago. They have given me 60% off family pack plus movies and sports with £100 credit. They were keen to know if I had the box and card still. I agree with other posts I am not sure I would have got this deal without them.

LOL

Such a shame they cannot look after their existing customers as well as new. I was with them for 22 years and finally said no. They offered me 50% off to stay but still said no because in a year's time we go through the whole process again. yes it's a good deal at £30.00 a month but that is £360.00 a year, £720.00 in two which is about how much I have saved for not having them anymore. Each to their own but I have learned to live without their repeat after repeat service, bought myself a Youview box and still haven't got time to watch everything I recorded so definitely a no from me.

I also have an Apple TV and sub with premier ad live for 3pm kick offs or BT sports2/EU I stream from my iPad. I was talking OS/GUI more than content. I'd happily pay a premium for an Arsenal TV season ticket if such a thing existed

Yeah I was on free Unlimited BB for a year, its ran out now and back upto £7.50 a month. I'm out of contract, and they still ain't budging. I'd even take Fibre at a discounted rate, but for existing customers its at £20 p/m, and for new customers its half that!

My kids would run riots without the sky, so I phone every year after renewing to get a better deal, I have all sky channels kids, movies, hd, etc except for sports, we also have phone unlimited broadband and multi room in all 3 bedrooms and pay total £41 per month, think that's pretty decent was paying bt £32 per month just for phone and broadband!!!!!

When mine goes back to £7.50, or whatever the rate might become, then I will be looking to move.

Sadly no fibre in my neck of the woods, but I would pay for that. Not £20 a month mind you.

Cracking deal. Do this do that blah blah. Why get Netflix at all when you can stream pirated movies before Netflix if this is your explanation? its a brilliant deal if you have used sky you will know.

Virgin bb far better imo, then you have no excuse when ur humped at Fifa :confused:

you should try nbc sports live on the apple tv directly rather than streaming gui is very good also covers the f1 sub can be had for a tenner a season.

prefer a "dodgy" box

I take it sky do a rolling contract for bt sports, anyone know how much?

An android box is good for films but if your looking live stream footy it's murder.

Hi mate can you send me a code as im a junior member and can't pm cheers

You are not doing it right then. :smirk:

no I'm good for footy have that covered with nbc sports and foxsoccer2go really want a service that covers high quality films with full 5.1 sound that I'm interested in

Time to negotiate!

I use to pay sky roughly £ 80 a month for phone Internet tv then me and my partner decided to go travelling so cancelled all my stuff and as sky take payment in advance I'd paid all my bills . Anyway I received a letter from sky saying I that I owed them but it had no amount and I just kind of laughed at such a stupid bill (it's almost like me sending a bill to sky for £1 million) there not going to pay it simples. . So anyway i then left on my jollies around Europe having paid all legitimate bills .. to then receive a phone call 6 months later telling me if I don't pay £20 ill be taken to court(somehow sky have now found my mum's address) and I could not question this as I was in Croatia ( thus a phone call to sky would have cost me a lot more than £20 . So basically the moral to the story is if you pay these big companies stupid money monthly they still aren't happy . So as of that point I will never pay another penny to sky .. and to this day I've had no explanation from sky what the £20 charge was for . So for £20 sky have now lost out on £80 a month ??? That is a bad way to do business...
SUPER F@#KIN GIMP ****

DON'T USE SKY BASICALLY rant over :-)

How did you manage to get the deal for £25???....only my contract with sky ended 2 weeks ago I was paying £21.75 for 12 months for all channels inc movies + sport. Holding out for better deal than 50%. Wiil be taking out new contract in partners name...

Can you do this with sky Q?

Can someone message me a code if there is one going please :sunglasses:

I'm a new customer to Sky and have just taken out their Unlimited bb and line rental plan for 1 year for £17.50/m (free bb for 1 year -just pay line rental) and £100 m&s voucher. being cheeky, do you think i can barter with them for more freebies as i'm still in my 14 day cancellation period? opinions please.

I get Sky Sports for £5 a month.

The iPhone app works great on IPad at x2.

I and my dad share the account on our two IPads twenty miles away so only £2.50 a month each (oh and I wait till iTunes have a deal on their cards so really only £2 each).

how do you cancel sky online?
Or do you have to ring them to cancel?

is there any deals to get 2tb sky+HD box for , I have cancelled 2weeks ago and only getting offered 50% discount.

Only downfall is have to phone every year as at the end of the year it goes back up to around £79, but what's a half an hour phone call every year to only pay around £40 a month for all of that, found out my mother was paying £91 a month for less than me and things she didn't even use, now she pays £34 per month, just got to haggle with them!!

How?

because they are happy to break the law.

This deal worked for me today. And although we rarely watch sky tv it made sense to try haggle this deal because of the £100 bill credit... Same as what I had last year,
this deal on top off my half price tv, bb fibre unlimited + line rental for 12months means yet again no bill to pay for a few months :smile:
I use the android mx3 with its included Showbox for bedroom so sorted!

The 60% off offer plus £100 credit can be applied to any package that includes tv but best part is no you do not have to re-sign up to another contract at all, if no luck with the advisor just try again later on or another day or go through to the Sky Retentions Team simple :wink:

Good deal for sky, they now seem to roll out such offers every once in a while.

I have 'a friend' who uses Mobdro on his phone with a Chromecast to his TV.
Might be worth a look?

Heard about parenting and discipline?

I do hate sky... so want to vote cold. So much....

However common sense must prevail. This is a great deal. Hot.

I don't know if I've just done a stupid thing or not.

Went on chat for £100/60% deal. Came back with free wifi box/35%/ £100 credit.

So I'll be paying £13 for 4.3 (ish months) - about £56 for the wifi box.

There's no cooling off period - wishing I hadn't listened to my OH.

I don't know if I've just done a stupid thing or not.

Went on chat for £100/60% deal. Came back with free wifi box/35%/ £100 credit.

The box I currently have needs a ethernet (?) cable from the router. The one I'm getting has wifi with it.

Oh I've been duped? Google says wifi boxes were out in 2013
I haven't been with sky since 2015.

So my box should have wifi enabled?

I think all Sky routers are wifi enabled now, and have been for quite some time.

Depends if your Sky box has wifi capabilities thought I suppose. (They all do nowadays)

Im with virgin bb
Do you know if i can check if my box is wifi enabled?

Your Sky box or your wifi router?

I assume your Virgin router is so you just need to find out what Sky box you have.

Yes sorry - my router is with virgin.

My box looks like this
https://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.g0hwc.com/images/Sky_HD_Box.jpg__size_10.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.g0hwc.com/sky_box_tricks.html&h=308&w=582&tbnid=A4qJivdPF9drmM:&docid=UJBQqxFaGd4JvM&ei=_ofPVvXhHcn36AT_q6vICw&tbm=isch

All this watch Now TV - well you were on the wrong Sky Sub because NOW TV is naff!! They can't give it away. Sky are struggling like mad it would appear because better deals are available than this for existing customers and that has never been the way before. £30 is value for this (mine is less) and the alternative in 50+ likes is nonsense. Could just say scrap it and stream using Kodi and obviously many are. Also Zgemma but this isn't morally correct is it?

Same as mine which I connect to my router via wifi.

EDIT - via a small wifi connector which Sky were sending out some time ago. Think it was free at the time.

Costs now it seems -http://www.sky.com/shop/tv/on-demand-connector

The lady on chat is saying she can't undo the new deal she applied. :disappointed: Damn - feel like I've been too hasty - didn't even need the new box!! £56 for a damn box.

Please could you tell me how to connect it to the router via wifi ?

PS: Sorry I'm just having a mini panic - thanks for all your helpful replies.

I had one of these old boxes. I just phoned Sky and asked them for a Sky wifi adapter to plug in. They tried to get me to pay for it, but I said I wanted it for free as I can't access everything that my subscription (heavily discounted) is supposed to include. I got it for free.
Recently had issues with box. Live chat was useless for discounts. Phoned them up and got a new box (wifi built in) and new dish all for £30 fitted. If I was at end of my contract instead of mid contract I think I could have had it all done for free with a threat to leave.
So it doesn't sound like a good deal to me.

NOT FOR ANY GOING FOR THIS DEAL!!! it's totally off topic to suggest NOWTV - they do try to give it (the box) away!! Sorry were you just trying to be smart or are you serious NOW TV (sky) is an alternative to full bundle?

I am not suggesting that a NOWTV box is an alternative to a full Sky subscription, however as an alternative to Sky it may well be useful to some people who only require the content provided by NowTV. No contract and cheap. In no way is NOWTV naff, although I appreciate it may not fulfil your particular requirements.

I'm not currently with sky so couldn't try that. To think I was only opting for the 12 month free offer for the record faciility. Blaming this on the OH.

We don't even watch the box sets! Just CBeebies 24/7!!

Should have rang them earlier!

Really? :smirk:

I don't want to bore people here but that isn't good. look at the 75% (you can't as such now) off thread. Out of contract and you should be looking for Sky to give it you 50% for 12 months (important bit!) £100 credit, new sky+ hd box or get multiroom (half price) and 2TB for £49 - free install. Free Tablet if upgrade to family £50 cashback- deal will come and go.

HANDY HINT - any existing customer (why are you in here like me?) go to review my account. At the bottom you will see cancel movies e.t.c try it it will ask again reply yes i want to!! then again - like the offer then take it. Do for next thing listed.
One I am going to be doing is cancelling movies and joining again via Quidco and maybe keep doing that - not seen it suggested anywhere but it seems good to me.

Depends on who you support. If its someone like Arsenal does it really matter if you see them pixellated or in HD.

Fair comment and It isn't naff to you but it is to me and they wouldn't do the prices on a non contract service if they were winning. It's also naff to my daughter although the line up has got better.

Absolute tool?

I stream the football on Kodi in 1080p HD. I must be a tool as well for not paying Sky to watch 2-3 games a week. :laughing:

Why am I a tool for suggesting that?

Don't want to pay a penny towards anything that has Rupert Murdoch's name attached to it. VIle man!

my contract ends on 30 March, do I need to ring them then to give my 30 days notice or can I ring on 30 Feb for 30 days notice?
help appreciated :smile:

​thanks, so I can ring a month before my contract ends to give 30 days notice, so it will end when it ends, so to speak

That is correct, then they'll most likely ring you up within the week after to try and get you to stay.

Just seen your edit.

It's all my fault. When the chat lady was saying wifi I read it to mean wireless so I got excited and told my husband we can get a new wireless sky box! I didn't realise it was what we had already had as we had to use a wire with the box, which we don't anymore.

Wifi enabled doesn't mean wireless. :disappointed::disappointed: I'm not sure what I feel worse about now - the fact I can't blame the OH or because I made such a dumb mistake. (I've got loads of excuses lined up though.. starting with the baby!!)

I'm going to ring them tomorrow and see if they can cancel (or revert to 60%/£100 deal) - I think there was a lot of breakdown in communication with the chat adviser! :o Thanks for helping me clear things up. :smiley:

Considering countries like Poland only pay £15 a month for same as what we get for £70 I would never give my money to sky plenty of cheaper options out there just have to look

Depends on how you wish to use it
The boxes themselves are not illegal
Cardsharing also technically isn't illegal IF you've paid for the subscription yourself, and are using it for personal use(ie: you wish to cardshare to other receivers within the house, instead of say your neighbours house, or further along)

It's also not illegal to have a motorised dish, for you to then have a satellite receiver, and for you to then get a whole host of foreign channels (Some of which air in English; and some of which that air sport; notably Sky Italia) You can also add in a legally bought and paid for card, to descramble the signal (in the same way that a Sky or Virgin card works), and you can view TV that way, and your dish would move to connect to the correct satellite in the sky

You can also use the zgemma receiver for IPTV if you wanted

This is all perfectly legal

Where are the £100 M&S vouchers coming from that people are talking about?

I am paying £25 to an ISP and then my BT line charge on top so presumably this Sky Broadband deal is a good deal? What happens if I move house halfway through the 12 months?

Do u have to arrange to an installation or do they send the stuff if you already have the sky dish?

Agree with all of this except why would you have zgemma box complete junk learnt my lesson buying clone boxes get yourself a duo2 or solo2

BT sport?

£30 is a great price for simplicity and what is it. Heat!

If you want fibre broadband, what's the cheapest to go for bundled with this?

Currently paying Virgin £60 all in inc line rental. XL package inc BT Sport, all channels apart from Sky Sports and Movies. 150mb broadband.

Cheers

I got every channel apart from BT sports , plus telephone and broadband last September for £37.99 - Dreading when it's due to increase to over £110 but I shall be phoning up 45 days before hand to be on the safe side!

Why would you inform TVL? No need to,despite the fact it says on the NOWTV site you "need" to, on the TVL site it says you "can".

So no need, just something that you can if you wish.

If you are after football you won't find much on sky sports as most of it is in BT sports (champions league, Europa league, most premier league matches, cup ties)

VU+ Solo2 box here, lightning quick and can do anything you like on Linux, just renewed my line for £25 for 2 yrs of everything you can think of, albeit no sky channels in HD but that's fine my TV improves the image so still perfectly watchable, I get all BT sport channels in HD though which with CL footie is perfect :smiley:

How many people have actually secured this deal for £30???.....

Yes here using the polish sat also!

Yes here using the polish sat also!

BTSport show far fewer PL games than SKY. SKY show more than twice as many.

Yes and there using that in the uk also

Not really you can use your mobile phone as a wifi hotspot and that's it don't need Internet, I have double 4g EE and I get speeds of around 90mb download

In the big wide world, there are many illegal things going on behind closed doors. From your household TVs to your multinational corporations.
Virtually everyone will do something illegal at least once in their lifetime.

Exactly!

logged in this morning to over 50PMs :confused:

All new customer £30 deal are gone now, so if i've sent you a code check your inbox/Spam folders and should eventually get it. You have till Mid March i think to use it.

I'll return when i get new offer codes

:sunglasses:

great deal..i phoned sky direct and managed to get this same deal for £25 a month plus line rental. worth trying. no freebies though

Someone mentioned a free Sky HD 2Gb box?

Went in-store and got this deal (instore deal only). Then went online and ordered the broadband (online deal only). There was a bit of a mixup. The TV deal wasn't processed until this morning so I got a phonecall from carphone saying they couldn't add the tv deal as I was already registered as a broadband customer. Thankfully they put in a few phonecalls to sky, worked around it and got the lot for £47pm.

That'll be the one I got, to be honest, I'm going to cancel and if I get offered the 60% off and £100 credit then I may stay, if not it's a preloaded firestick or whatever dodgy Dave has for £40 and shop around for a broadband deal.

Hi all I spoke to SKY directly and got the 60% off + £100 credit for the complete bundle HD. It works out to around £22pm which I think is a very good deal for me.

As others have mentioned it is possible to obtain a cheaper monthly outgo (If you can be bothered) by getting NOW TV for the entertainment pack + Netflix + KODI which would cost roughly £16pm but for the sport enthusiasts like myself the extra £6pm to remove the effort and reliance on decent KODI streams is worth it! Note I went for the BT broadband deal to get BT Sports for free (with a MasterCard prepaid card worth £100 I believe).

I asked about SKY Q (for the benefit of those who have asked on here not myself) and was told the best they can do is knock £5 off the monthly cost so I'd wait until better offers are available.

just cancelled my contract so lets see what they offer me, just coming off of 60% off and £100 credit deal, am trying to get the same again if not will go for this deal

The onus is not upon him to "Prove" he doesn't watch it. It is on the authority's to "Prove" he watches it

Undercover Sky operative!

I still have some if you can direct me to the people that you've been unable to give codes to.

I also have a few codes if anyone is interested

Just google TVMC for free sports and movies.

Is this for real?

My Friends n Family code runs out end of March, and I wanna get a new deal in my wifes name.
One the phone they said they can't do it.
I bet they can.

Get a ZGemma box and every Sky channel & BT Sports for £100 the first year and £30-£50 the second year.Get an android box and wack Kodi on it.Sorted.

If any one has a code could they pm me please - tried to ask someone for one but apparently im not active enough to message people ?
thanks

PM if interested to get £150 cash (master card prepaid) by joining sky tv package.
I will need your first name/last name and email address to send you a code from sky.

Previous Sky customers? £25 a month

The tights gits at sky said the best they can offer me was 10% off the full prie in year 2, after my FnF deal ran out.
thats still nearly £100, i cant afford that, I want everything for no more than £50.
what can I do? get a contract in wifees name?

This is interesting.
I've seen a similar deal that sky staff can give out (and earn commission on)
Recent developments in the market as detailed previously (Netflix and catchup) as well as more competitors have devalued the entertainment aspect considerably. So sports is the major selling point. And they may need to cannibalise revenue from this to support their overpriced service, which may lead to a decrease in the football bidding, meaning clubs get less and the entire football industry takes a hit.

We can only hope.

Thanks for the info, despite many hating sky (including myself) if you are in a rural area and don't want to rely on Wifi for your TV, this is a very good deal. We have no option other than Freeview or Sky, there is no cable and wifi costs the earth as we don't get the deals that those in civilisation get!

When does the sky box get delivered?

Supporting the execrable Murdochs is cheap alright, but I can't bring myself to do it. Cold.

My original 25 months for £25 was from an engineers Friends and Family code.

The one I took out in December, I got from a different site. That code has since expired http://www.vouchercodes.co.uk/sky.com?um=oe&eoid=3466243

For everyone going on about "dodgy boxes" the first rule of dodgy box club is....do not talk about dodgy box club.

I popped in the CW near my office today, mentioned this offer but was quoted a much higher monthly charge. It wasn't for me but for my parents who haven't been Sky customers for over 4 years. Has everyone else who's been to CW been offered the £30 a month deal ?.

Just received my code from caTASHtrope :smile:
Thank You!

I've just seen this same deal on VoucherCloud https://www.vouchercloud.com/sky-vouchers

saves going into a carphone warehouse

Forgot to tick the box.

I only have sky broadband and phone. A chap from Sky rang me to offer Sky HD incl entertainment and sports and movies for just 17.98 per month for 12 months. Not sure if I want to take up the offer or not, as I have netflix

broadband = laughable
on demand 2016 and your waiting over 1 hour to watch a show

virgin all the way

This is the main reason I left sky after 20 years....no loyalty.

Good deal however.

There's a few. Phoenix, NJM Soccer, Money Sports, UKTurk, Robocop. Take your pick! :laughing:

They're all free as well, none of this paid for IPTV garbage.

Just bought this through sky, direct. They've added multi room for a fiver extra.getting installed next week!

Just bought this through sky, direct. They've added multi room for a fiver extra.getting installed next week!

Yes, you can.

Really? When was the law changed?

There is no official way other than unplugging your Ariel cable, even then you'll recieve letters from TV licensing.

Is this on regular Sky+ HD or with the new Sky Q (fluid viewing) ?

Such a waste of trees, isn't it?

Owning a TV aerial and having it plugged in means nothing by the way. I own a large meat clever and keep it sharp but until I chop someone's head off with it, no offence has been committed.

As long as you don't watch or record live broadcasts you don't need a TV licence. You can watch iplayer, skygo/ondemand, 4od, itvhub etc content without paying the TV tax. You can't however watch something streamed over the internet live (for example live channels on the iplayer or nowtv).

I remember the good old days of ondigital/itvdigital and the dodgy boxes then. Shame no HD on the dodgy boxes still (barring a few channels) but for 3 or 4 quid a month I'm not gonna complain.

Of course there is! All you need to do is make a declaration that you will never watch OR RECORD live TV (on any device including tablets, phones etc) and you will receive a certificate which is valid for 2 years.

http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one/topics/telling-us-you-dont-need-a-tv-licence


You MAY receive a visit from an inspector (but they have no right of entry without a warrant), they MAY have the technology to detect whether you are breaking the rules (so they say but .....) but if you're not you have nothing at all to worry about, and probably not even if you are.

Wow there's some pretty special mongs on here today, worse than some of the Apple threads. In summary, one guy thinks Sky are a charity and it costs them nothing to produce content and purchase rights to content, and another says they 'ditched Sky for NowTV, a Sky product. Geni-****.

Thanks for the info will try it out.

well that's my 31 day notice in to Sky, adviser yesterday offered me a whopping 10% off! I will await phone calls but to be honest, they would almost have to pay me and I'm a legacy HD pack customer with 'free' F1!

it's a covert deal, only available in stores, just checked. cheers, saved me loads ac month mate

​Nope limited time offer from my line supplier guy, just extended my line couldn't turn it down

When do you get the receiver box, do they supply them at Cpw or posted to you?

They'll bring it when they install

Hi anyone with a spare code?

Thanks

haha, you are spot on - what a bunch of muppets:

You don't need a code. I called sky and they price matched the the cpw offer+ I got multiroom for another £5.
£35 in total, installed next week.

I've just taken this deal via the VoucherCloud page. I'm a brand new customer - no existing dish or box. I can confirm that it includes a HD+ box for free. I took the Multiroom / Sky Go for an extra £5 per month so it also includes a free HD box for the additional room (total cost £35 per month). After clicking through I also had an option to get a free £25 pre paid Mastercard so I took that too! The installation cost is £10.

What made you think that?

As for contacting TVL, a complete waste of time in my experience.

Correct. If you don't need a TV licence, don't contact TVL. Don't talk to them. Don't let them know your name. Film them if they come to your premises and continue filming them until they leave the vicinity. TVL are fraudsters and will make up "evidence" to warrant their pursuance of legal action against you.

In short, if you need a TV licence, buy one. If you don't need a TV licence, have no contact with TVL whatsoever.

Absolutely spot on.

The other option is of course not to contact TVL and live happily ever after without a meaningless "certificate" from them.

Yes no HD on IPTV dodgy boxes but it's there for all my TV needs on Freesat and that with Bein sports HD is all I need for £210 per year and 3PM kick offs.

Put it in your car and see what nice Mr Policeman has to say about that when he stops you for a routine stop.

Because It's the whole point of getting SKY for that price, otherwise it wouldn't be a hot deal.
Furthermore, you state "get netflix for £7.49" you can watch soaps n dramas free, loads of sites out there.
You can download or just purchase IPTV n get all channels cheappp

Sky1?
Is that their HD channel?

Sky1 is one of the HD channels.

My primary reasons for getting rid of Sky in favour of now tv was the price points - I'm currently on a movies and ents deals for about £7pm. They charge twice that for just the movies to people that are paying them £40pm for tv already.

Hi

Could I please have a code too!?

Can't pm apparently!?

Many thanks

Thanks for that.
I meant do you get the HD channel on Now tv?

Thanks

How long is the contract?

I don't think it is "full" HD but 720p. It may have been upgraded by now of course.

No, still 720p at the moment. I thought they would have increased it when they released the new box, but no.

720p would be fine because even normal sky isnt 1080p
It never has been either.
However some of the BBC programmes on Freeview are in fact 1080p

I've just come off sky chat. I was offered variety tv package and unlimited broadband for £47 a month. My subscription ends on March 8th. Of course I said yes please. Where do I sign!

as my post above...cancel and you will get 50% off pretty much straight away.

although re-reading I guess you were being sarcastic?

Has anyone managed 2 get Bt sport free with this deal??

Worked for me as well. Was only offered 10% discount over the phone when I put my cancellation in.
10 mins later I logged onto my account and the 50% off for 12 months was there.
Thanks for the info. Have now saved £480 over the next 12 months..

I think the 10% is standard. The 50% is automatically shown once the adviser has put the cancellation through. Glad this worked for you :smiley:

Thanks. I've already got a dish. Had sky few years ago. So presumably they will just post it to me?

Thanks brother

Nope, they'll bring it on install and set up for you. The installer will love you if you've already got a dish! :smiley:

Np :smiley:

Where I live, I have no phone line, so am pleased that Sky hooked me up with full sports package and other basic channels for £22.75 for 12 months. I am totally happy with that. Full box, watch catch up and free to air HD channels. Couldn't be happier.

Did u ring them or live chat?

I rang them. It's always worth a try. I don't follow the crowd who say " it's all too expensive, lets cheat... I feel that we have to pay for things we want, hence I have no quibbles in paying my way... guess it's how I was brung upp! lol

Go through Sky directly. They offered me it for £25 a month

A Freesat or Freeview HD+ box offers plenty of decent content. I found interesting and quality programmes stacking up on my box daily in series links. Freesat Freetime boxes have a well curated list of daily recommendations under 'Showcase' which you can also get via email whether you have Freesat or not. I actually miss this on Sky.

Couple this with a monthly dabble of Netflix, Amazon Prime, WWE Network, etc for less than £10 per month, chopping and changing at will and exploring new content.

Then add Kodi to the equation and you're laughing. Perhaps a friendly relative/friend can offer you a Sky Go login if your team is playing!

My Sky sub ends soon, its interesting to note after I ignored the big deal email they sent, the next email offers to keep the recording facilities of the Sky box switched on for free channels and free broadband for 12 months. I will take them up on this.

​i got fibre for 10 a month. just argued.

​it's fine with fibre.

Virgin Broadband (fibre) is available without a phone line.

​There isn't a code, if you have cancelled your TV package you can go on chat and just ask for this deal

Thanks OP, called Sky and they price matched the CPW deal. As per usual, CPW were useless in store and weren't even able to offer me it! Bunch of muppets...

Got the sports package for £22.75 p/m + £25 voucher..

I pay £36 a month to Virgin for 200 meg cable, anytime calls and line rental after I haggled when they advertised the price increases.

I need my dish realinged as it was here when i moved in!

Looks like its gonna cost me about £100 so any way i can get a sky deal that would work out at about £100 with free install and then they can either put a new dish or at least a new cable in and realign it so it works after the year is up i would go back to freeview!

I'm a sky broadband customer but never had sky tv in my life

Any ideas for the £20 a month with £125 cashback or something making it about £120 for the year this is what I would have to pay to fix the dish so it would work out free sky for a year quite happy with Freeview to be honest!

What you've described is generally a matter of habit. Catchup facilities have much of what is broadcast live and you can set favourites and have whole seasons of content in one handy place. So there's no real difference there. You don't need to record because everything is just there ready for you, when you want it.

The only valid point really is about internet connection. 1.5mbps is quite slow and you would likely indeed struggle to effectively watch high quality content with that. Fortunately such poor quality internet connection is largely a thing of the past in the UK, for most people.

Download Kodi to your laptop and be done with this muck

zgemma ftw :smiley:

this price is more realistic

I have autism and I prefer the old fashioned method but even without my disability I would prefer the old fashioned method.

I want to turn on a tv and a structured thing and if I am bored with whats on THEN choose to stream something I want.

Plus I prefer the old fashioned tvs, one of the main reasons is SD just doesn't look right on most things on a HDTV and even if I could handle streaming on it 4:3 content is squashed even on a SDTV as they assume everyone wants to watch on a HDTV and you have no way to adjust it plus tvs are too thin to a extent meaning weaker speakers(and I hate external ones) lack of depth to the screen though I guess I can make a fake back to one.

Back to what I said its good to have some limitations on what I can watch and for some random choices being made, else I would never find things I have never seen before or forgot about, I like having the news come on, or being able to turn on my tv late and find something like Family Guy already there.

If I was just limited to my own imagination I would just watch the things I liked and over and over rather than new things.

As for "most people" with the internet it purely goes where you live i.e towns and cities, my parents get 4 meg in the countryside which is actually impressive in some ways, have friends who get 0.5 meg or even slower in the countryside or small villages/towns

Even in my last town outside of fibre which was available unless you were close to the exchange you got varied speeds I got 3.5 meg yet my street had fibre but as my line was connected to pole not cabinet I couldnt get fibre meaning I paid more for my 3.5 meg than people getting 80 meg!

i have been informed that this is offer is for returning customers only - where they merely reactivate your account. i don't have sky now so can't use it unfortunately. Otherewise would have been interested as it is a lot cheaper than those virgin media cowboys.

...and for this deal...?! Suspense is killing me.

Got the sports package 4 £22.75 p/m + £25 voucher..

Sky are a joke. I've been with them for 8 years.. was paying £32 for the full movies, HD, sports package. Now gone up to £75 a month. Rang them to negotiate a discount and see if they can give me this offer, all they offered was a measly 10% off and said thats all they can do. Needless to say, I've put my cancellation notice in!

Update: As soon as I cancelled, I went into MySky and they offered me the standard 50% off, what a headache!

ok looks like best deal I can get is 30-00 per month plus £25 vouchers. works out £28 per month...not good as £25 but still

just tried too. absolute waste of time only offered a measly 10% off tv package then also wanted me to sign up another 12 months contract !!!!!!.no wonder people are leaving in droves ! bt here i come

i went on the sky chat facility and was told that the offer was for returning customers only - guess that was a fib. will have to to into Carphone Warehouse i guess to get this deal.

can the £30 deal be combined with the recommend a friend offer?

Please pm a code if u can plz

Got VM at the moment £67 pm big kahuna (bt sports free). Question, exactly how bad is the bb for gaming on the line? It's £20 extra for bt sports so £50 total just need feedback on the bb please

How ironic the news today that you WILL need a licence even if not watching live...

Incorrect. Sky1 is a SD channel.

An HD variant is available

A couple of days ago I saw that there are proposals to change the need for a licence to encompass catch up.

Still don't need to contact TVL if you don't require a licence.

Not sure I can see any irony.

You will require a licence though.

There will of course be people who will not require one.

Will be interested to see how the new licence rules are to be worded.

I just went into CPW and they don't have this deal - I think it must have expired?

I gave my notice and then did a chat session with them asking for the discount. Can remember exactly what but I think it was 50% off and £100 credit but could be wrong.

Yeh, I didn't realise people had already cancelled and were then asking for the offer. My cancellation went in last week and 50% in 'my sky' straight away.

I've just logged in to my sky and they have reduced the 'offer' to 35% off!

Sky are saying the standard (not fibre) broadband is not available in my area... Is that right? So they want £34 a month just for the Internet alone!

I cancelled about two weeks ago. Got offered 10% before canceling and now got an email for 35% off if I change my mind..

I got full package for £25 a month up to a year contract free in some sort of 'switch back on' deal by calling customer services yesterday.

As the new season of GoT is about to drop and as I'm returning back to the UK full time next month anyway I decided to give them a bell and see what they were willing to do, so what a good move that was :man:

They offered me any of the lesser packs at 50% off for up to a year IE: the original at a tenner month and the family at £19 a month etc but then pulled that rabbit out of the hat when I was umming n ahhing ....... the full house with all movies and sports for 25 quid :wink: no brainer really

Oh and here's the small print before someone comes along accusing me of talking porkies.

Hardly the deal of the century. £25 for full package for returning customers is standard now. Some of us got it for £22. I also see that you're paying full price for your line rental plus £8 for Anytime Extra.

Hang on, this deal is for 30 quid and I've just suggested a way of getting it for a ching less yet you're digging me out?

So where's your 22 quid touch then?

Oh and seeing the phone has always been on, like for years, and I called about telly packages I never even asked about the dog deals.

Anyway I'm sure you feel better for having had your quid's worth, sorry three quids' worth because yours is £22 after all hohum

I'm sorry but I need some translation assistance here, I am in no way 'digging one out' but for goodness sakes Chassnay this is not the way of the hukd ethic and may well end up in somewhat of a 'tear up'. Let's draw a line under the matter and speak no more of it. Dunderheids :man:

Erm why are you replying from a totally different username to the one that you have just confirmed you started on me with?

And I'm the dunderheid :smirk:

What the what!! Keep away from the green it'll make you paranoid mate lol

Seeing I don't even smoke fags let alone puff a draw that's not even remotely applicable, never mind witty, so I'm sorry another feeble comeback.

All the more so seeing you're responding in the first person to what I replied to qwerta, no paranoia there merely stating a fact.

Though that said the way you persist with keep trying to spin things round you're nailed on for a gig on that Marxist weirdo Campbell's inner squad, all the best in your new career flower

I was only making a joke about your London rant earlier, I'm Scottish so a sense of humour's mandatory, no more than that sweet pee

Well if you're replying on behalf of a different username it's blatantly obvious you have a rather unique sense of humour.

I'm still waiting for evidence of this £22 full package deal that was lobbed at me the other day, oh and the suggestions of free line rental n inclusive calls too of course.

Hmmm bizarrely it's not been forthcoming though

Would that be the Firth Of Forth coming.

Very impressive bridge there when you go up that way on the rattler, though the weather could be better it must be said :smile:

Why do you think I would log on as someone else, could it not just be that I'm a nosey so and so who found your urban slang somewhat amusing?

More importantly, does anyone give a sh1t?

Well you clearly do seeing you've gone to the effort of logging in with a Jekyll username to stick your oar in :smirk:

So me writing as I tend to talk is more amusing than someone claiming he/she has got the full Sky do for 22 quid?

Not to mention if you were as nosey as you suggest I'd have thought you'd want proof of this mythical monthly £22 touch every bit as much as I do.

End of the day this deal is 30 quid, I posted evidence I got the same package for a ching less and how I managed it. Then certain other posters suggested they under-cut this by another three pounds without even a speck of information on how, never mind showing anything to back this claim up.

Last time I looked this site was a tool for getting the best price on stuff you require and/or tempted to get. Not some 'keep up with the Jones family' panto where you trap off a load of bull for reasons only known to those parties doing it.

No I'm not 'Joethepope', I'm just a normal user who is bored of reading nonsense being shared between the two of you when I'm just, like 99% of other users, trying to get the best possible deal on a thread.

It's very frustrating when I receive updates from this thread and it's just you two arguing about pathetic things like creating new accounts in order to falsely argue a case! Grow up and use this site as it should be!

Did I accuse you of being anyone specific, let alone that Joey?

Erm I don't believe I did.

Just that by using my amazing powers of deduction I've come to the conclusion that somebody who joined this site 8 years ago would have accumulated more than 16 comments in all that time.

Especially when you consider 3 of those 16 have been in this very thread :smirk: so I'm sorry but to go from an average of 2 comments a year to 3 in a few days for this specific thread suggests hmmmm I don't need to spell it out do I? :man:

I'm not going to get embroiled in this nonsense but I don't support either of you and not sure what you mean by a Jekyl username as this is my own account. I just want to hear more about this Sky deal (as you'll see from an earlier post) rather than your stupid bickering and accusations.

I am sure you can use Herr Google to find out that Jekyll is slang for snide.

And I hate to break this to you but when you choose to start sticking your oar in from what is clearly not your primary username you have by definition embroiled yourself in to this nonsense.

Oh and hello, my initial post in this thread was explaining how I got the very same Sky package for a ching(that's five of Her Majesty's Pounds Sterling before you start on that too) cheaper than this actual deal :wink:

It was that qwerta369 who lowered the tone when he/she tried claiming everyone gets it for that price and then had to even go one better insisting he/she had got it three quid cheaper than that.

Strangely enough he/she has stayed deadly silent ever since I asked for some kind of evidence to back the claim up and then Braveheart began to chip in with his/her Scottish sense of humour finding my London/Essexshire twang a source of amusement.

And everyone lived happily ever after, the end :man:

Glad we've cleared it all up now :sunglasses:

Actually, I made a choice not to spoon feed you the info, due to your prickly nature which you so clearly demonstrate every time you post. You want to learn how to get it for £22, find out for yourself. We aren't friends.

Well that really told me, like on a site where everyone posts deals for everyone #genius

I suppose we should be grateful for small mercies because your kindergarten response does as good as confirm you acknowledge you was talking out of your Harris but your personal pride can't bring yourself to admit it in an open and honest manner.

There's an interweb of billions impressed by bullpony don't you know, just ask all those Nigerian princes wanting to transfer their huge personal wealth in to random people's current accounts :man:

Got this deal 4 the sports package for 22.75 p/m & was told it would stay at this for the first 12 months & its now gone up to 25 has this happend 2 anyone else?

If you've still some spare codes..I am looking for the 30pm deal with SKY (just the TV)

Still not a good deal, I ditched sky last April after being a loyal customer for 15 years but after their constant price increases I ditched them and haven't looked back, partly because I now use an android tv box, fully legal hardware by the way, it's what you can install on it that goes into a grey area but that don't bother me, after paying sky's over the top prices they can now kiss my ****, I'm still watching all the tv/movies and sports that I want without needing sky.
