Poker 425 - RIP. And Welcome to Poker Week!

[Ironside]

its same price as normall sky and for £10 extra you can get sky in another room too on the same subscription (we were paying 2 subs in house for about £100) now we have 2 sky and 1 sky+ box for about £70 i might get rid of movies though they have cheated me out of about 30 movies a day since the switch over to the new organsied channels

[nosey-p]

yes i know it is the same but it costs £160 to get it instold

and since i have not won any money since November.

i think i was lucky in the early days of the APAT

[Ironside]

thought sky ran promos every now and then to get sky+ for next to nothing

i will look out and see if i hear of any deals

 Always worth contacting them and seeing what deal you can get.

 A month ago a friend contacted Sky to try and get re-connected after a year...... he couldn't afford it and stop paying owing them £80 odd . They offered to cancel what was owed if he "signed up" again, which he did.

Doubt if that was a Sky offer more like a dodgy sales person if you ask me...

Why?

The marginal cost of providing the service to one more person who already owns the kit with a viewing card is close enough to zero for it to actually be zero as far as Sky are concerned (they probably just to have tick a box or two on a screen). The ongoing marginal cost of providing the service is similarly zero, making it hardly worth the cost involved in trying to recover a month or two's unpaid charges.

If they can get you re-subscribed and get three month's subscription out of you then they're in a revenue positive situation. It's a no-brainer for them.

Great news..... now get those cameras along to BB4 so the general public can see that poker is enjoyed by normal, sober, well behaved folk!!!


hmmmmm, then again..... 

Consider it done. TV Coverage by Poker Week is now confirmed.

maybe a wild stab in the dark but i do work for them and we have over the past year tried to move away from offering all sorts in order to inflate the subscriber numbers. The marginal cost is minimal but when you consider the additional costs of a customer who will likely be in the bad debt cycle (calls into call centre to get viewing switched back on, letters informing of debt) then it doesn't look as worthwhile plus the loyal customers get narked as they become aware of people trying to play the system..

they have stolen 2 channels off me and put 2 more on half day and then they are repeats

Sure your not sitting on them?

[Ironside]

no sky stole them

12 channels into 10 channels yes we have organised your channels better but you havent noticed that you lost 4 channels worth of films and some of them are the same films every night of the week

i havent see a decent film on sky that i wanted to watch since the reorg

[Eck]

ffs iron I needed a pay rise and what with all the money they are paying these guys on sky poker the only rational course of action was to rip you off.......obv.

you will also be getting a phone call shortly advising you of a one off special offer only for you of 3 less channels for an additional £20 a month, sounds fair to me really........

[Ironside]

its bloody rip off and i am annoyed thinking of canceling my subs but as my parents are getting 2 sky subs off mine it means i can without upping my digs

i am in a condry

[charmaine]

Sky movies are pants !!! ,we took them off of our subscription this week .

[DAN DAN]

That's just reminded me to go and cancel my movies too.  Always upgrade at Xmas but forget to cancel a month later.  I also cancel everything but the basics when the football season stops.
