Sky is good if you watch live sports, otherwise it's not really worth the premium. You can pretty much half your monthly sub with Freeview and a Netflix + Amazon Prime subscription. Not only that, the quality of UHD on Sky is poor in comparison. That said, I read that UHD content should be improved at some point.

Yep,the UI is intuitive. It's up to you how much you think that feature is worth though.
Mind you, if you have a TV with Netflix and Amazon integrated even with dedicated buttons on the TV remote like I have, it makes the UI advantage of sky a moot point.
Well just put my 30 days notice in for sky, they tried very hard to keep me after more than 20 years with them, didn't dangle the money carrot enough for my liking, did you know Mr spook sky Q install cost is £350 we can reduce it down to £60 just lol
Technically that is the price. OFCOM rules state that someone can ask for a service to be installed without contract and that's the price.

If Sky carry on playing hardball with discounts in way I'll be quite happy as it will give me the little push to cancel it when my contract is up which I've been meaning to do for the last few years.

I wouldn't go that far but they have changed the way they give discounts its no longer an X% off. They use monetary values instead and seem to less generous with their offers! As I said if they give me a similar offer to last year then great. If not I'll happily cancel £100 a month to have sky to watch Football simply isn't worth it - In my mind £60 is with broadband and sports.

ive given in and gone back in at £56 a month.
Had it good at £38 for past 12 months but when they offered me £51 said no chance. But couldnt get them back to that price after, cheapest was £62!
Was due to disconnect today, but went on live chat for one last go and that was the outcome. I guess with the new package system i cant complain as im sure its cheaper than a new customer f&f deal
i have full package sports/cinema 2tb + 1 mini box. Hoping to grab a 3rd for free as they said i could!

Winback can still give 50% discounts (on a good day), full package renewed at my parents 12 hours after disconnection without box sets and kids for £36 a month. (+, not Q)
Soldato
Urghhh is that even a deal? Not taking the mick, how much should it have been full price?

£92 i think. I have been thinking it for the past 3 months, but after so many attempts with none getting under £50 and being told due to new packaging system they dont offer %'s anymore, i just went with it. Potentially it could have been less after disconnecting, but the advisor was 'frank' about it and said its the best i will see...

The 1TB box can be had for £20, but with an 18 month contract.
Without a contract it's full price (£199).
