Now come on Arthur, be honest, you'd have been upset if he'd received a service you couldn't complain about.

greater selection of HD channels?

really is a chore to watch SD on a big TV these days.

Re: TV price rises
 

So what are people finding when they phone up and complain about the price rises? Are retentions actually bringing it back down a notch or are you told nothing can be done?

Also can someone confirm I can leave without paying cancellation fee as they have changed all the pricing?

Re: TV price rises
 

Called retentions explained as pensioners money was tight could they help in any way going to rise £4.50 from April,from 99.45p
Now on same bundle but at £96.45 on new 12 month contract.this includes a £2 loyalty bonus[Runs out 2014 or on new contract deal] been with cable since Nynex days

Re: TV price rises
 

Some of us aren't complaining and are just accepting that prices go up.

Besides, there's not a lot they can do for me anyway; seeing as I'm on XL for everything but BB; and that's being doubled in time.

I believe so.

Re: TV price rises
 

Well sky are currently offering ridiculously good deals especially via cashback sites so I will probably phone and cancel and wait and see what they offer me.

Re: TV price rises
 

But remember what comes down in the short term invariably rises in the medium to longer term so its swings and roundabouts to be perfectly honest.:)

Re: TV price rises
 

Well just made a sky basket and it's about £4 cheaper per month for exactly the same package. But there would be a one off cost of £199 for a HD sky+ box as I want multiroom. This is off set by the fact I can get £100+ via quidco cashback, and an additional £100 M&S voucher. Sky has more HD content and F1 channel which is huge for me but...

- Internet is much worse
- Only dual tuners in their Set top boxes right?
- I dislike the sky interface
- No on demand
- I have to have a sky dish and BT wiring all redone
- it's murdochs empire
- TIVO looks promising in the future once they perfect it at VM

The hassle of changing to save a fiver per month with internet that will annoy me.... I think I'd be happy with VM just knocking a couple of quid off my bill.
I will ring them tomorrow.

Re: TV price rises
 

To be fair to Sky, that's not completely true. Anytime+ is a lot closer to On Demand than they've had before, but still requires a decent net connection etc

Re: TV price rises
 

Seriously? :rolleyes: No tech is ever perfect, so you might be waiting a while :(

Re: TV price rises
 

...till Sky review their prices for September!

Re: TV price rises
 

And have no doubt they will go up just as much as Virgins.

Re: TV price rises
 

How does everyone know they will review their prices in september? I read that a lot on here. Is that when they are fixed until?

Why do you have no doubt? Again, I read this a lot. I'm not denying they will just asking why people say this. With what certainty I mean...justify your statement.

Re: TV price rises
 

Sky froze their prices last year, advertising it as frozen until August 2012.

Re: TV price rises
 

Sky froze their prices last year but will not do that for a second year in a row so price rises are inevitable come September and if you don't think that will happen then you are in for a nasty surprise.
