    Do they have Sky now, or are they new customers.

    You have to sign a 12 month contract. The lowest package is €20 or somewhere around that figure.

    You don't have to pay it all up front so once the install is paid for then it's just whatever the package is per month.

    You could ask your folks if they are interested in signing up themselves for the year and you will pay for the first 6 months - then do the donkey work for them with Sky. Failing that, you would do the signing up and then have to ask them for the last 6 months of payment :o

    Ask them if they even want it first!

    If they currently have RTE, etc, then they'd get loads of extra channels via a freesat system, without being tied in to paying €20 per month forever.
