    Right lads, my 1 year deal with 20% is up so it's time to give Sky a call and see what they can do for me! :D

    Anyone get any good discounts from them recently? I also want to order a HD Box without the sub. I've no problem signing up for another year.

    I rang up last year saying I wanted to cancel one of my movie packages. Was offered it for 10 months for €1 a month. They seem eager to leave you on the package. If reverts to its full prive after the time automatically. Obviousally most people forget about it by them.

    Got the 20% off for a year last week, offered straight away by Cork CSA

    How do u get onto Cork customer service? Every time I ring them I get onto Scotland and India!!

    It was actually my first ever time getting onto them and it was via the normal number. But i did see recently in the Sky Mag, it said call our Ireland service team and a new number I hadn't seen before anywhere else - can't remember it though, unless someone has the Sky HD leaflet that came in this months magazine.

    I got 20% off for a year. No chance of a deal on a Sky+ HD box. They were actually quoting me €199 without the HD subscription.

    Count your blessings.
    The Cork staff are hopeless .
    I wish I could get through to the UK all the time.
    Look at this deal in the uk at the moment
    http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/613842/sky-1st-yr-half-price-tv-new-custom
    Then compare it with the crap offers we get and the inflated prices we pay in euro.

    I concur. The Cork staff give the impression that they don't care if you want to cancel. I do all my cancelling via email these days.

    The Kiosks in Dublin are doing it for €159 Mick.

    I'm having terrible trouble getting anything outta sky!

    I ordered the HD was due to come on Monday but no show, rang them and they gave me 15 euro credit on my account! Sent an email the next day and they haven't been very helpful.

    Anyone any ideas what to say to them or ask for? I've been looking at getting the HD sports and movies for a month on trial from them!!
