OK, back to the sky. I am sure if you set it out well, i.e create a presentation of sorts, with mathematical calculations and stuff, completly over complicate it and make it look 100% than what you have now, you will get it.

Have you got a VCR upstairs?

Can you get a mate to tape you some really boring (to her) programs that you just have to watch downstairs all the time, on the VCR, getting in the way.
It will be so easy then, for her to agree that you might be better off with a Sky box in your own rooom.
Kerrang is a good start :D

Seriously if you are moving in five and half months its best to wait the contract on sky is 12 months and I am not sure what they are like to transfer to another address.

Oh they'll transfer you alright but ovbiously they charge. If your system is within thre 12 months i believe in order to retain the sky installation warrenty you will need to pay SKy In Home Service to reinstall it. Outside of that you might as well get a local installer to do it and save a few quid. Ovbiously the warrenty on the actual digi box itsself is a completely different matter.

Well to tell you the truth, I'm not as fussed at the moment about getting Sky as I was when I originally posted this topic... It's just that that day we had been on my cousin's farm in Oxfordshire and she has Sky and until the rugby came on I was able to explore all the great things on there which really made me want it... If I was in somewhere like Dixons and they had a Sky system on display I'd probably be playing with it all day!

One of the main reasons I wanted it here in London was because you can watch TV from other BBC/ITV regions, and this would be a good way to keep up with news in Devon... but if we are getting it in Devon it'll be sort of vice versa...

If any of you are members over at DigitalSpy you probably would have seen I had a brief chat recently with a Sky agent who was flogging the £10 installation in my local Safeway (Morrisons!) store... he said he knew engineers down in Devon and when we move down there I should give him a call and get this £10 install... which will give me a brand new box as apparently some of the boxes used on the £1 internet install are not new!
