Sky TV

Can't believe it, but contemplating getting sky.

Been offered (from a neighbour with sky)
Free installation and a sky plus box, so just need to pay the monthly rate for the package we choose (£19-£21 depening what we go for)

Does this sound like a good deal?

You don't need to pay for the box anyway unless you refuse to sign the interactive discount license which requires you to connect it to the phone line so they can snoop for the first year. (I didn't pay for mine, and then my phone extension kept "going faulty!". Fancy that. ::))

I think I paid a small fee for some gibbon to come and install the dish. 50 quid or so, so the savings are minimal compared to the subscription you'll pay over the first year.

Oh, and they make sure all the decent channels are split across the packages amongst thousands of channels of sh!te so you need to subscribe to a load of packages to get a couple of the good channels.

This was the sky PLUS box, ie PVR, which I dont think you normally get without parting with £150

To be honest, half the appeal is the pvr aspect.
Our dvd recorder is intermittant at best, so looking at a couple of hundred for a decent pvr....or the sky subscription.

Hmm. Does make it more attractive in that case, although the sky+ adds another tenner a month to the subscription IIRC?

Never used a Sky+ box so not sure how "defective by design" they are. I'm sure it'd be fine for general time shifting, etc.
