1) Sky own the equipment so will want it back; you can't just keep the box to receive FTA channels.
2) The fittings are Sky Q dedicated so you can't just buy a Freesat box and swap it for a Sky Q box.

I'm not so sure. Had this offer from SKY today to keep my 50% off deal going for another 5 years.

Hope you're going to snatch their hand off!

Oh yes! :D I don't even have to do anything. It's already been applied to my account automatically. I'm free to walk away anytime I like over the next 60 months.

Well only a company who knows they are going to keep making money continuously in the future would do this as for 99% of companies this would be utter financial suicide if they adopted this same strategy.

Re: More price rises

I wonder if that 50% off negates the fact that they'll still do yearly price rises?

Re: More price rises

Forgot to ask Chad, have you got Sky+HD or Sky Q?

When SKY announced their price increases earlier this I did receive a letter confirming price increses but my letter said my package was going up by £0.00. My monthly cost didn't budge. Not sure if this will be the same over the next 5 years.

SKY+HD. I'm certain if I upgrade to SKY Q my deal will come to an end. Happy enough with SKY+HD. Don't have a 4k TV yet.

Ahh, wonder if the five year deal maybe for Sky+HD customers? I know the discounted packages now carry over to Sky Q as far as I am aware, mine did when I upgraded recently.

Enjoy the great offer anyway mate! :)

Re: More price rises

So I've come home today to find a letter enticing me back to virgin media saying I can have some nice discounts.
Out of curiosity I get it priced up
Full House TV
Talk more anytime
200Mb
Sky movies
£63 a month.
Which is roughly what I was paying before my offer ended and Went to over £100 and all I was offered was same without movies for £84. I despair.

Hello folks! ... just adding my new deal to the list!

Phone line + Talk Weekends ... line saver due end of the year.
TV M (that comes free with the phone) ... 500G box
Vivid 100MB Broadband

Basic stuff, just £10 less that it was, now £24.99 (loyalty discount of £5 for 18 months!) ... so I'm happy with that!

I usually mark it up on my calendar, just to make sure. In previous years I did receive an email reminder.

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 03:56.
