Ah. Just saw that.

If that is the case, deal is very misleading.

Extremely misleading .

Sky Movies is absolute rubbish these days too ,it was vastly superior 5 years ago .
Netflix is a much better option.

epopnomis · 11-09-2014 4:00pm

Yet again massive confusion with a sky offer surprise surprise. Some peeps saying that you have to go for other packages on top of variety and others saying you only need to buy variety. I guess its that old scenario, depends who you get on the other end of the phone. No consistency with Sky whatsoever...

kooga · 11-09-2014 4:03pm

the carphone warehouse deal on the other thread is much clearer and better!

brophs · 11-09-2014 4:04pm

So there's potential for them to require you to take movies and sports? I'll go for it if it's variety and sports, but not if I've to take the movies as well.

batistuta9 · 11-09-2014 4:10pm

i suppose more need to clarify what it's actually covering

me i take the original & sky sports 1 - sky sports 5 is free - so that'd cover all the football, + HD
i think that's 28 + 21 + 15 @ full price. 32 half
& i wouldn't mind the new install either for the extra cables (possibly in another room) :pac:

though if you need to take variety & movies +- sports @ 32/36/40.5 with no HD wouldn't really be worth it for me on the 1 year contract,
sky would probably give you a slightly better offer to come back

though i'm not even sure i'll get it back tbh

You can just ring them up directly @ 0818 719819 and avoid Groupon. Variety + Sports + HD = €32

They are pretty flexible from my experience

That's a good deal, might try that.

epopnomis · 11-09-2014 7:27pm

Ok just got off the phone and they will not honour a variety package by itself, only with sports or movies, they are blaming groupon for the error so I will mail them and try and get a refund.

ispini1984 · 11-09-2014 9:22pm

All,

Re carphone warehouse, probably stupid question, but do I just walk into a store and ask about a sky offer?

Benzino · 11-09-2014 9:39pm

I went into CPW today and asked about the offer. He said I could get the Variety pack + Sports + HD for €43, and that comes with the free tablet (which is valued at €100 according to him). I was in a hurry, so didn't get to ask what the exact details of the deal was (like the cost of Variety on it's own).

Jesus Wept · 12-09-2014 4:20am

Silly question time. Do you have to get a sat dish in if getting sky? Don't think it is allowed at my apartment.
Will use the info though to try and reduce UPC. Keep getting calls from them trying to upgrade, explain I want to pay less and they come back with an upgrade that costs 6e more.

Yeah a dish is required to receive sky.

Cosmo Kramer · 12-09-2014 7:25am

I used the UK version of this deal a few months ago to get sky when I moved to my new house. The deal was pretty much as advertised, any package half price (I took everything other than movies) and full price for the HD add on (about £5 a month). It was free installation and they had it up and running in less than a week. The £9 Groupon fee came off the first bill and they were throwing in a £25 M&S voucher as well - which I still haven't used. So basically if you want cheap Sky for a year, go for it.

thats incorrect pricing

Variety and HD €15
sky sports is an extra €18

The full package - variety, hd, sports and movies is €42.

By all accounts they seem to be winding down MMDS, plus the license is up in 2016.
So little incentive to keep customers on it really.

Ah ok, so you can get Variety + HD + Sports for €33, not so bad. I'll tip into them during lunch and get more details regarding install fee and contract length etc.

This is the deal I want also, but seems Carphone Warehouse have pretty much the same deal (an extra euro a month) but you also get a free tablet.

kooga · 12-09-2014 10:52am

guys the groupon deal is this

•The Variety Bundle: €18 per month; normally €36
•Movies Package: €14 per month; normally €28
•Sports Package: €18 per month; normally €36

there is no mention of hd in the package plus you have to take variety with either sports or movies!

so variety and sports is €36 no hd
variety and movies is €32 no hd

car phone warehouse is

variety (stand alone) with hd is €15
add sports for an xtra €18 includes hd
movies i am assuming €14 includes hd

Full package variety, hd sports and movies is €42

plus a free tablet. you go into the shop and sign up there and then, a €10 deposit is taken but that is offset against your first bill.

martinr5232 · 12-09-2014 10:54am

Is multiroom still €15 or is that half price aswell does anyone know ??

Cona · 12-09-2014 11:28am

Anyone know what kind of tablet you can get from CPW with this offer?

Folks,
On a contract with Sky till Jan but would like to avail of this deal with CPW. is it possible? Thanks.

BRYAN Is Ainm Dom · 12-09-2014 12:03pm

How will it sell out. It's a service that is being offered not goods.

I don't want SKY Sports or Movies, had them before and didn't watch them, and I'm trying to keep my Bills as low as possible.
Do you know is it possible to just sign up for variety (stand alone) with hd for €15 per month total with CPW?

kooga · 12-09-2014 12:27pm

if you combine movies and sports there is a discount, hence €42 not €47

I didn't go for it in the end as I already have a perfect Freeview setup so €32 would be alot for just the benefit of Sky Sports. I don't get to watch that much Sport.

If I were getting it I wouldn't take BB and it wasn't necessary. I get 100MB UPC for €27pm

I just got the Variety + Sports bundle for €33 a month, but the guy said you don't get a tablet with that deal. I've a feeling he is wrong, so will tip in later and ask another fella.

Cape Clear · 12-09-2014 2:20pm

According to the T&Cs in the offer in Cape Clears post the Tablet is not available?

kooga · 12-09-2014 3:44pm

you got the tablet, my dad signed up in carphone warehouse mallow, got variety hd and sports for €33 install next Thursday just in time for the ryder cup!

No tablet though

Funkyzeit · 12-09-2014 4:13pm

Just signed up for sports/variety +hd too. Great deal in fairness.
No tablet though!

SEORG · 12-09-2014 4:43pm

Can anyone confirm if you have to be a new customer for the CPW offer....

I was on the phone and they said even if you are only disconnected one day that you are eligible, is this correct? I thought it was 12 months before you a re considered a new customer.

Soarer · 12-09-2014 4:56pm

The local cpw guy showed me his sheet, and it says the tablet offer is not stackable with this offer.

jaypea1 · 12-09-2014 6:13pm

Was just in CPW Blanchardstown, staff not aware of variety package etc...Girl phoned Sky while i was waiting and was offered 25% offvariety package for 4 months.

Has anybody any luck with CPW in Dublin about the 15 euro per month package?

The girl was offering tablet with the offer. The tablet is 7 inch go clever terra.

Thanks to Cape Clear for the voucher attachement. I am going back tomorrow with voucher in hand......

Edit/ the in store leaflet states "new customers only"

garrethr · 12-09-2014 7:33pm

Signed up to variety pack in CPW in Ennis. Costs €15 per month (12 mth contract) which also includes HD and free installation.
Girl in shop said when installed by sky engineer call back with confirmation of same and I'll get free tablet.
Great deal imo.
