@MissChief I have a code and am moving into a new build. I was just wondering if I do the £40 a month + £12 for SkyQ and a silver and mini box,

I have no codes left. If I get any more then I will update the first post. @superdumper may have more codes.

Thanks.

I have not used any of my codes yet, so if anyone is interested, feel free to send me a PM. I have 10 available.

@MissChief many thanks for the code. Will sign up tonight. Will spend the drive home umming and arhhing over whether to get the 1TB Q box or the 2TB Q box with Ultra HD. Is Ultra HD delivered over satellite or over the internet?

That's a good question. As far as I know it is both? In the sense that live F1 and football can be in UHD, but there are also movies on Cinema which are available in UHD and you need to download or stream them.

MissChief · 8 Mar 2018 at 19:06

Live UHD content is sent via the dish so broadband speed doesn't matter. Obviously on demand content comes via broadband but is downloaded and watched from the hard drive, not streamed so if your broadband isn't great you can download in advance and watch uninterrupted from the hard drive.

Also get the 2tb box. If you add a mini box the 1tb can only stream to a single mini. The 2tb can stream to two mini's.

For some reason my entire message didn't go through. Asked what the setup cost is with SkyQ 2tb silver box and mini box. Went through the process and was only £65, jumped on it.

Anyone needing codes go for it. £40 for 18 months, JUST TV but with HD, Sport, Ents, Box Sets, Movies and anything else I've forgotten. The whole shebang.

Insert 'you have no power here' LOTR meme.

Sky installed earlier today and everything works perfect. Thanks again for the code MissChief

Any codes available just for fibre?

Unfortunately no codes exist for Fibre, but Sky currently offer a price of £25 for Fibre Unlimited or £30 for Fibre Max. You need to call them up for this though, either to upgrade an existing subscription or to start a new order.

Do you need to take out a sky tv subscription as well?

You do not need to take out TV, but you need to have TV active, as these offers are TV dependent. In simple words, if you don't have Sky TV, you cannot get the prices above, but you may be able to get something similar (say £30 and £35 respectively).

Also happens to me, maybe we haven’t posted enough yet?

ah ok, thank you. is there any other way to get a code? thanks

Not for a new member. Says in the first post no 'drive by' requests, minimum 1 month on the forum but I may increase this in the future.

roccles · 12 Mar 2018 at 19:57

Signed up today and already sitting watching the football via the Sky Go app already! brilliant. Installation booked in for next Tuesday

Thanks for the code @MissChief

superdumper · 12 Mar 2018 at 21:14

I used one of MissChief's codes back in November last year that gave the £40 per month for everything plus £12 a month multiroom.

I thought I would be protected from price rises for the 18 month contract but I had an email last week saying my subscription was going up as follows:

Boxsets Bundle +£1.50
Sky Sports +£0.50

Is this right or should I be contacting Sky to complain ?

Thanks

Stu

First of all, thanks again @MissChief for the code.

Some unusual activity, just wondering whether you can confirm this is normal.

Installation all booked in. Receive message from Sky stating Great News your sky set up is all scheduled in etc and track the progress log in with your email (and it had my email listed).

Then about 10 minutes later, receive an email from a number: ‭+44 7800 005891‬ - stating your Sky engineer visit is booked for X Date at X Time (details are correct) and to confirm text YES.

Is this legitatmate number?

MissChief · 14 Mar 2018 at 16:22

Yes that's all fine mate.

Depends on the offer wording I'm afraid. If the offer is x for £x then you're protected. If it's £x off' then you're not.

Judging by the way the Friends & Family offers are, I believe you are protected from the price increase. The letters have been sent out as normal, but they do not necessarily mean your bill is affected, just that the price of the product is increasing.

I'd give Sky a call though, just to be safe.

You were right about this btw, the offers have been extended until 1/4.
