Sky+HD Offer

Never had sky.

Just amazed that people in the UK are silly enough to pay a TV licence, pay a sky contract and then are happy to spend so much time detaching their brains from real life whilst getting fed too much of the same ad laden home improvement/cookery/reality rubbish whilst paying at least £20 a month for a TV Licence and Sky HD just because Joe bloggs next door has Sky HD in and has all the channels.

20 years ago we had 4 channels in a hazy SD format and the content was miles better for a one off payment of £66 a year TV licence & we were a lot happier with the TV.

Nah, I don't profit or benefit in any way. I just drop the name/email into the system and from that point on it's just another customer for sky and nothing to do with me.

The TV Licence has nothing to do with Sky, thats down to the BBC.

Kind of harsh, I'm actually very happy with TV these days, I much prefer Band of Brothers, Dexter, Six Feet Under, First Blood, The Sopranos and 24 than Dallas, Dynasty, Dempsey and Makepeace, Howards Way and Starsky and Hutch :)

This exact offer is freely available on Hotukdeals. Just go there. Massive thread about it there.

EDIT: Better yet, take the code: SUPR108334958542 (change the first 3 digits about to anything you want). Put it in here: http://offercode.sky.com/default.aspx

You could give it a shot, but the system where staff distribute the codes requires the full name and email address of the person the code is intended for (which is why I said I need full name and email addy). You'd think that they'd check that whoever uses the code has the same name as that entered when the code was generated... but maybe they're not arsed or just don't check... I've no idea.

I don't work in the retail side either, so I've no idea about how much any of it costs (for whoever asked)... I get it all for free anyway :p
 
If you have any left, please could you send one to ut555(at)hotmail(dot)com

-edit- i've sent a message to your trust address.

Thanks :)

Unfortunately those weren't the shows I watched - although my mum did :p

Cheers was my no.1, with Married with children, Cosby show Baywatch and Harry Enfield and all the other 16 year old funny stuff which was well worth the yearly payment of the TV licence. At least back then there were educational and interesting things on normal terrestrial TV during the day.
 
No 1 is deffo YES
No 2 is - possibly. You 'might' need to get a new dish installed, and a landline, if none is in place or the previous owner has decided to take the lot with them. Your address transfer shouldn't be a problem - but don't expect to get a new box and dish for free.

But if I take the box with me then that should be fine right?

One other thing, we already have a dish that goes to the annexe of the house. I assume it only has a single LNB attached. We dont want two dishes so will they be sensible and modify our current dish do you think?

Take the box with you when you move, you'll have to pay to have the new dish installed at the new house if it hasn't already got a dish. Yes they can just stick a new LNB on the current dish.

... Save " UP TO " £291 just for Sky TV..... no mention of how much you really save for the package you really want, no mention of which channels you get and no mention of what happens after the year, how difficult it is to cancel, or how many times they will hassle you to keep the contract going for longer than the reduced period ;) Or the small fact that it's not open to existing customers or previous customers...... but by all means, get sucked into that new monthly bill whilst increasing numbers of people are switching to Freesat HD (at no charge) for virtually the same watchable channels :p

If you want to pay at least £10 a month for MTV and Discovery.. no probs. I just know there loads more things I could be doing with that money than watching ads every 15 minutes.

Perfect summary. Sky aren't doing this for some charitable reason, they are doing it in a desperate effort to con the millions of people who don't want to pay to watch endless adverts and plugs to sign up.

How much do you have to shell out per month in order to "Save £291"?

Freesat is the way to go :)
