Just buy one of those boxes off ebay, mine is flawless and has everything, I pay for sky and the box sits upstairs hardly used .... oops did i just say that....
The point being that even with ALL the channels free I dont save a bean because we don't watch much TV... seriously though - those boxes are Skys Achilles.

Perhaps some people are averse to breaking the law?
If I were a thieving scumbag who felt the world owed me a living then I too could probably get all the TV I want....for free.
However as I don't. As I feel I should pay for the goods and services I use I instead just like to try and get the best, legitimate deal I can.

Just had the letter. Going up £3.30 a month from June. Looks like I'm finally going to get round to doing that call. Still not figured out why they sent me a cheque for £64.00. Was rather nice of them doing that though as that will cover the changes anyway 
Still on an old sd white pace box here (40 gig was it? MOTD takes up about 13 percent!).

It's a small choice to be made. Or continue to be shafted by sky for the rest of your life.

Q Silver ayy, is that actually a worthy 'upgrade' to the Sky+ HD box?
I was also looking at swapping out one of the really old Sky boxes with a newer Sky HD box, but it seems that the sky card might not work in the new box? Something about needing to be re-registered?
Is there a way to get a new Sky box without it being refurbished and without having to pay through the nose for it? I think mines starting to pack in as the movement gets quite juddery on some programmes at times, it's not the tv as it occurs on two different ones.

I must have upset Sky 
Close date is the 5th May, no emails or letters and the online offers page says there's nothing and I should call.

Try to justify it all you like, it's still basically theft.
had a phone call of retentions so to speak
was offered about what I think is stock offer
so 35% off for 12 months, no contract, and 50 credit so went with it
we weren't using movies much at all - so removed that - we have Netflix, Amazon Prime etc anyway
so I think the main channels inc HD + Sky Go Extra worked out at 29 ish a month

With sky q is there any deals of getting it without having to make a one off payment.
Nah I checked the next to two months and it's the same. I think it's because I am on a 60% discount deal for 12 months.
