    I currently have the Sports package with NTL and i'm looking to get another box recorder in the bedroom. Is it really only an extra €10 a month to get this?

    seeing as you are an existing customer.

    the price will be

    mulitroom - 8.50
    DVR - 5.00

    total - 13.50

    ONLY € 120 a year !!!!!

    Would you not be better paying € 6 extra a month to get the family pack with more channels and multiroom included....then again if you have got money to throw away....

    I am an existing customer and I kicked up so I have Digital plus in 2nd room 5 euro for box and 5 euro per the room total 10 euro.

    In the 3rd room I have another Digital Plus HD five euro for the box nothing for the room.

    So two extra rooms one Digital Plus one Digital Plus HD total 15 Euro.

    This is another reason why I like UPC better then Sky if you haggle with them it is well worth it.:D

    Hi Ranicand,

    Can you explain how you got this ?

    I also have 3 boxes, 2 HD+ and 1 standard + box.

    UPC DIGITAL
    for 0790
    Additional Cable Digital Max 8.49
    Total for 07907 8.49
    for 0790
    Cable Digital Max 33.75
    HD Digital Plus Subscription 5.00
    Total for 0790 38.74
    for 0790
    Additional Cable Digital Max 8.49
    HD Digital Plus Subscription 5.00
    Total for 0790 13.49
    Total for UPC Digital 60.73
    Total for Subscriptions 60.73

    I am paying 33.75 for Max Pack, plus
    MultiRoom 8.49 + 5 for HD+
    MultiRoom 8.48 + 5 for 2nd HD+, as above

    A total of 60.73 per month.

    What should I be able to get this for ?

    Any tips as to what my strategy should be ?

    I did consider getting phone + broadband as well and rand up to try and get the 95 Euro deal, but they told me it was only for new customers ..

    Cheers,

    Bob

    Ask to be put through to their customer loyalty department that is what I did.

    I said there was no way I was going to pay more then a new customer.

    They are given great deals to people who had been using illegal boxes to steal while I had been paying.

    I was prepared to end my contract so you have to mean what you say.

    Thanks Ranicand,

    But what would a new customer with my setup be paying ?

    Is it 33.75 for Max Pack , which would include 1 Mutiroom ?
    So adding on 5 for 1st additional HD , PLUS 5 + 5 FOR 2nd HD , totalling 48.75

    Just guessing here based on your costs, but if correct this would save me approx 12 Euro per month ?

    Let me know if my logic is correct ?

    Cheers,

    Bob

    5 euro per room 5 euro per box 10 euro per room not 13.50 so a saving of 7 euro.

    I got the 5 euro dropped for my 3rd room so I am saving 12 euro.
