re Sky tv
Currently a vm customer however have to move to a new house because the old one is getting demolished, anyways the new apartment doesn't have vm (not a cabled area) but i do have a shared dish, each room has the sky connection (living room, and both bedrooms) however i want to have sky in each room but dont want to have to suffer watching the same stuff as the person in the living room.
i assume i have to get bt and can i get sky bb bundle? i move in on monday and i need to get all this stuff sorted before 2 weeks (carpets, laminated flooring etc)
how much do you think it will cost as i keep reading stuff about £199 a box

Re: re Sky tv
if the new place has infinity enabled go for a Sky package including fibre broadband. the broadband package you want to be on is called sky fibre pro or something which hasnt got the 2mb up cap. that of course is down to your usage and willingness to spend.
with regards to tv, sky multiroom is what your after. boxes are free but you pay extra per month.
call up and try to haggle

Re: re Sky tv
use that to your advantage. endure ADSL with Sky then move up when Skys fibre product becomes available. they want your £££

The prices currently are as follows
Sky World £53.00
HD Pack £10.25
Sky Multiroom £10.25 with a free non recordable HD box
Sky Unlimited BB £7.50
Sky Talk £12.25 includes 01/02 calls after 7pm and weekends
Sky Talk Unlimited £5.00 for calls all day to 01/02 numbers
Total £98.25 if you took Sky Talk Unlimited , there are currently offers on via online for half price BB
When Fibre Optic becomes available at your exchange I believe the pricing is as follows
Upto 40mb / 2mb upload unlimited £20.00 which would add £12.50 to above price
Upto 80mb / 20mb upload unlimited £30.00 which would add £22.50 to above price.
Some prices may rise in September bear in mind , it's also worth noting ESPN would cost you an additional £9.00 if you have Sky Sports or £12.00 if you don't subscribe to Sky Sports.
