Sky+ Price

LFCFan

Has the box gone back up to €399 or is it still at €299? A friend of mine got a mail from Sky saying it was €399.

Tony

as theres a fresh sky + thread I'll jump in..

If I went and bought a quad lnb and pace sky+ digibox on ebay, would it simply be a case of setting everything up and calling sky to get the recording turned on?

Tony

yep its pretty straight forward

rymus

good stuff... might get my hands on a quad lnb before the dish gets put up in the new house so. Kill one bird with a half a stone and use the other half in a few months to kill anohter

I've heard from my friend that Sky have been ringing people offering them Sky+ for €50 if they are subscribed to the full package. Has anyone else heard this?

News to me.... I've had the full package since the analogue days and have NEVER got offered anything

(Pity too cause if this is true I'd take it...)

according to my friend, his dad was contacted by Sky who offered him Sky+ for a one off payment of €50. I'm still a bit skeptical myself as it sounds too good to be true but I trust what my friend tells me. He may have gotten it wrong though. It would sicken me if true though after spening €474 getting it installed.

Try cancelling and see what they offer 6months later to get you back

They offered me 1/2 price for 6 months OR a new digibox if my system being faulty was reason I didn't want to renew!

My digi box was giving problems, the tuner was gone in it so I rang $ky and they were going to charge me €110 for a call out charge but I told them I wanted to cancel my sky, they then soon changed their tune and put me on to a supervisor and told me that I had misunderstood the sky monkey he really said it was a free call out to check my box not €110.

He said they will repair the sky box , I told the senior sky monkey that I wan'ted to still cancell my sky sub because I was not prepared to pay X amount to repair a 3 and a half year old box so he then said that the call out would be free and the repair would be free.

End of storey is that Sky engineer called today 2 and a half weeks later. He didn't bother calling for the appointment last week and misssed his appointment yesterday but I got on the phone to sky yesterday with "this service is unacceptable" line and I want to cancel.

So today I got a brand new free digibox for no charge, and its not under contract for 12 months.

If your thinking of getting Sky+ I would recommend you to get it. I have it about a month and it is worth the money.

I'm having serious frezes and lockups and all sorts of bugs on my sky+ since the start of december.
Thought it was just me and sky cs said it was just me before looking at this site.

seems i wasnt the only one according to that site, so i called a couple of friends with sky+ and they are having problems too and also thought it was themselves.

I'ld reccomend that anyone thinking of getting skt+ have a read of the above link first
and then make your decision. Its a lot of money to pay for the treatment that sky have given these people.

i havent experienced any problems with Sky+ until this morning

and that was because someone parked a truck in front of the dish (during Soccer AM too :mad: )

On the poll, whether you are happy with Sky+ over 80% said they were happy with Sky+ and i would be in that catogory

DaithiSurfer

you should read the posts towards then end of that poll. Since december

If someone parked a truck in front of my dish during soccer there would be hell to pay ... as long as the driver was smaller than me
