Does this sound right?
 

I called Sky yesterday to cancel (so I could return to Virgin). The reason being me and the partner miss the catch up service.

Once I spoke to Sky they confirmed iplayer, itv catchup and 5 on demand are on there way. Not only that but they gave me my tv package half price for a year on top of my free hd for one year offer :D

Does that sound right to anyone?

Re: Does this sound right?
 

Well BBC iPlayer, ITV Player and 5 On Demand are coming to Sky later this year so that is correct, in regards to the cheaper package, sounds good, they dont want to loose your custome

Re: Does this sound right?
 

Yes it's all correct, as for your package there are some great deals to be had right now with Sky.

I personally get 3 Sky+HD boxes, full sky world with 3D and HD,phone line an internet for £51 a month. It's just Sky using some of the £1.2 billion profit to give back something to loyal customers that have helped them become the UK success story they have.

LOL :D

Wow! (again).

Are you on commission, or do you just get overtime for posting on here? ;)

Why didn't they give back some of the £1.2 billion in profit to loyal customers without the loyal customers having to threaten to leave?

Re: Does this sound right?
 

I would say I'm a loyal customer but I've only had it installed 12 days :)

Re: Does this sound right?
 

Yes an there is an in house term for people like you " I believe" who have been loyal to a competitor an will want to return with the first few weeks.

There may even be a few incentives to keep you.

Re: Does this sound right?
 

You cannot say no to half price tv for one year. Looks like I made the right decision given the news that Virgin have announced today.

Re: Does this sound right?
 

What news? Or do you mean the price rise?

Re: Does this sound right?
 

Or possibly the new 7 HD channels un-officially announced earlier.

Re: Does this sound right?
 

Totally agree- it makes sense for you to take the deal...

I wonder what that term is? :D

Re: Does this sound right?
 

The half price offer is standard atm and nothing special
