is there a cheaper way to get sky+?



  none, just walk
at the moment sky are charging £180 to fit sky+ along with a box. But im wondering if you can buy the parts seperate and DIY?

probably yes, boxes not that expensive on ebay etc, bit of dual coax and a dish + dual lnb, then phone em up and say i want sky but mam n dad have given me a box, then send you card which is paired to the box and voila instant saving
 
I paid £30 installation Sky plus, £50 for the box and got Sky Sports package and two others, plus broadband for £36.00 per month. Oh, and to compensate us for the installation they gave us the first two months half price.

This was three months ago.

Push them, they will budge.

I've you've been with them a while, phone up and cancel, telling them you want SKy+ functionality but aren't paying through the nose for it. tell them you're going to BT vision or Virgin

They'll be round with a free box and installation before you put the phone down ;-)
 
They will be bringing out their Christmas offers soon.

Free box, Free installation last year when recommended from an existing customer.. so quite good.

Yeah they always do Christmas offers. They always say something like "Get Sky for Christmas for your family to watch" and all that b****cks.

there is an offer on for free sky + and installed for free , if recommend by a friend there is a code on the internet somewhere.

If you can't get that you should be able to get the box for 49.99 and installed free.

what if you got sky allready, cant you just upgrade the box and wham it works?

You can.....

BUT you need a second feed from the dish to your box.

If you know what your doing its pretty easy job.
If you only use it with one feed to your box you will only have 1 tuner active. So can only record 1 item etc...


I got mine totally free last year as Daz mentioned on the recommend a friend offer.

:D

I went from standard sky to two sky+ boxes and that was free installation. Just phone them up and tell them you want free installation or you will cancel full stop.

i'm a new customer. jsut asked the bloke for a deal on sky+
 
  RIP Dan
Do as Dafthead says.

I did.

3 years ago i got upgrade for, ie install and box for £50.

You need to push it though and dont be a chicken. Keep saying you want to cancel and speak tothe manage etc.

In the end you may get it free ;-)
 
Got it for £49 and got a new box. Signed up at a local shopping centre. IIRC reading on avforums.com Sky will be reducing Sky+ to £49 across the board. It just hasnt filtered through yet to the dealers. If you go for a £49 deal make sure you dont get a refurbed box. Apparently, thats how sky get rid of any faulty boxes they have had in for repair, just tell the guy that you want a new box and when it comes check he uses a box in an official sky+ box and not one in a dodgy brown box.

If you go through quidco.co.uk you can get £110 cashback if you order it online, but you cant use it with any other offer.

I'm trying to get a sky HD box out of sky for damaging my central heating system. I still havent got any money back!

I rang today threatening to leave and they offered me HD for £169.00 fully installed.

Only problem was I needed to move my phone and B/Band package but im under contract for another 6 months.

Went for sky+ at £49

This will get the extra feed from the Sky dish fitted and in six months I'll get a HD box of EBAY.

When they say 'Free Installation' what if you haven't got a phone line in one of the rooms that its being installed in? Do all boxes have to be connected to a phone line?

I was thinking of getting SKY+ downstairs then just having a normal extra box with multi-room upstairs.

What's the koo there then? I did ring up and got a loser on the line who really knew sweet fa! But basically offered the SKY+ adn multi-room full viewing package all installed for £50 then £50 a month i think.
