Title: Cheap Sky
Post by: tunnie on 15 February 2010, 14:15:25
As some of you know, i work for Sky, got a good offer on at the moment which is not open to general public, I can only give it to a couple of people as i have limited codes. I am also giving admins first refusal  :y

Offer is:

Free SkyHD+ box
Free Install
Free HD Pack for a year
Half price on any package for a year

If you already have Sky, i can get you a free HD+ box when taking out the HD package

Thanks for the offer, Tunnie.  :y

Somehow I suspect my Sony CRT TV won't allow me to take full advantage of it, though. :'(

Once they are in they have you by the nuts and won't give you the 'new customers only deal' ,they much prefer your money at the full rate.

I'm with Virgin. I find the best way is to get a good deal is threaten to cancel my contract & change to sky.

No really it was not an option, i could barley move in there before we had cavity wall and new insulation in. Stuff in the loft now is about 5 ft deep. Even a short ass like you could not get in there now....

The guy that fitted mine left the old roof aeriel out of mine.  Since suffered with no signal (X2) which I thought was because of the snow and bad weather.

Had  a box lock up tonight and the same the other day.

Then when I try to switch back on after a powwer down it takes about 20 attempts to get the firking thing restarted.

Glad it's still under warranty. >:(

Sky gibbons don't "do lofts" anyway.  ;D

They route the cable round the outside of the house, banging the nails into the damp course all the rather way round because it's easier for the idle gits to bang the nails into that than into bricks and mortar. >:(
