2) The fittings are Sky Q dedicated so you can't just buy a Freesat box and swap it for a Sky Q box.
If you believe that Andrew you clearly don't have a grasp of the current pay TV market , these companies are having to do everything in their power to hold onto people. It's all very well everyone saying after the first year they won't offer anything but in the current climate I wouldn't bet on that. You think people are going to go from paying £35 to over £100 with BB and phone ? People are still free to leave go elsewhere for a year and comeback on a new customer deal.
