Can I pm you for more details if my parents are interested?

sure

I am moving into a new house around the 2nd week in December and looking for either Virgin, Sky or BT Vision, how do I take advantage of the above offer please?

im also moving house but on the 20th, might be worth a look

cool - I have 3 offers and Nakor has already bagged 1 of them - so on a first come first serve basis i will dish out the codes

I have a couple left if anyone is still interested.

Would it be possible for a code then please? Thanks in advance, if possible.

I'm interested if still available eck. should be moving in a the next couple of weeks

I have one code left;

Nakor and dik9 accounted for - Soviet do you still want?

i would have one please, already have sky but not sky+, (willing to pay postage)  ::)

so option 1 is tottally free for 1 year??

any left?

I think it's for people who don't actually have Sky. - Sorry

I expect they're gone now but will take if one is still available

Will PM the code for you on Monday afternoon.

All 3 of mine accounted for - I think  that Eck  may still has some remaining

Yep Eck sorted me out with one, cheers.

Im moving house very soon and need sky. Can anyone hook a brother up and swindle me a sky + box.

Sorted.

HD box now down to just under 50 quid :)

Good post, been waiting for this months offer, sorting it out now!

I am waiting til they get rid of the £10 monthly fee.

It's going to be a long wait,no company can afford to give away £80 million a year.

Theres going to be a tipping point though when a large proportion of channels are available in HD and competition between Sky and Virgin forces their hand.

It will probably happen shortly after the digital switchover when freeview does free HD.

Freesat gets you the bbc, itv, ch4 hd channels for free.
I think Sky will waiver the £10 next year, they used to charge £10 a month for Sky + and then dropped it. Same will happen with hd.

It seems the present plan is to pay for the cheap boxes with the HD charge.
From Sky's half-year report released today.

We have structured our investment so that the majority of costs are geared to demand; Sky+HD customer acquisition costs will only be incurred in proportion to take-up of the product. At a headline box price of £49, we estimate an incremental cost of adding a Sky+HD customer (either new to Sky or existing customer upgrades) of £100. This cost is fully recovered within 12 months through the ongoing monthly revenue from the HD pack subscription.

Do you smoke?

No, I am too much of a nit.

Be as well starting might make the wait for the price to come down shorter.

fck me i thought i paid £10 a monh for my sky+ i might need to check my bill

didnt think sky+ cost anymore than the normal subscription??

when i started it off it was £10 then another £20 for the otehr 2 boxes in the house

never check my sky bll as i dont watch box office

no idea if they dropped the £10

I just paid £100 for the box with no extra monthly charges

What happens if you move home but the new place your moving to already has sky? Anyway you can cancel your contract?

Sky contract is in your name so the new place already having a Sky dish up is irrelevant as it won't be working when you move in, no?

I want my new Sky HD menu.  My mates who geographically either side of me are all upgraded, but I seem to have been left out. 

You think its better silo??

I meant im moving to a new house with mates who already have sky.

You still in the first year i take it. I think they normally will let you cancel without penalty in these circumstances, give them a call if you have any bother pm me.

HD menu? Im 2 months in and never knew there was one, mines unchanged bar the HD channel selection in tv guide.

Sky engineer is here fitting my HD as i type, new tv, sky hd then i've just got 4 weeks left to wait for my new sofa then i'm set for the lounge.

Telephone line connected? ;-)

FYP

It was being rolled out to the oldest boxes first,all the thomson and pace boxes should have it.
Samsung and Amstrad should have been done by the end of spring but it came to a full stop about 3 weeks ago,rumours vary from sky cant get it to work on the older boxes,to the rollout has stopped till all the problems it has caused to the other boxes are fixed.
If you have a thomson or pace box and don't have the new epg you need to do a forced update to get it.

It may be sad but i'm excited by the prospect of eurosport hd's tour de france coverage.

I love the Tour..but the commentary on Eurosport is soooo bad I can't watch it anymore.

Turn the volume down, don't really need the comentary half the time

True..see the thing is; I grew up with Mart Smeets presenting the Tour. (he is Dutch obv) He could talk for the entire 6 hours about everything and nothing and keep you hooked. (and he knew his cycling) These Eurosport guys seem to know nothing about cycling, nothing about presenting and can only state the obvious.

And for me the Tour is as much about the great commentary as it is about the cycling..5 hours worth of cycling with no noise is a bit too much for me (Though obv only the mountain stages really matter)

I must say over the last few years i've had to watch itv's coverage because of eurosports commentary, with eurosport they seem to have one commentater for many sports and they know little to nothing for most of them.

Unlike Sky, who have Sid Wadell.

Who undoubtedly lowered the bar to unlimboable for his pool commentary.

any freebie offers going atm?

I'll ask MrsB..she works for the evil empire that is BSkyB

there is a staff offer but it is only for introducing new customers. If you don't have Sky Terry I think you get it for 1/2 price for a year.

thanks   feck and boldie, but its not for me I was thinking for the ex wife the boys were talking earlier saying they dont have sky as mum cant afford it whats the cheapsest deal?

she doesn't have it yet, no?

No   ;gobsmacked;

There's a staff "recommend a friend" thing going on according to MrsB. It's running for another week or so. Full package half price for a year.

I have a Samsung box how do i get the HD menu?

buy a new box?

me thinks it would only be the standard package whatever that is,

as i know she wouldnt be able to afford it so I would have to pay 4 it somehow probably via my son

thx anyway....

standard package is like £17 or something..full package half price is sports and movies for something like £22 (I don't know how much each sky package is but that sounds about right).

These offers are going all the time though so just drop us a line mate.
