Deals On Sky TV Service - (Mostly Cancellation deals)

mel123

Is there any deals that include broadband, and if so how much can I expect to pay? Ive never been a sky customer but am moving house next month.
Also is there any link to the 38€ deal so I can see exactly what channels I am getting?

I was told €42 per month. It's slightly cheaper than the €43.50 I had prior to cancelling - had HD at €7.50pm then.

Cool I'd be happy with that

Got a call this morning offering the variety pack free for 5 months and then 50% off for the remains 7 months, no contract. I took it and totally intend cancelling after 5 months. So far this year I have been given free Sky for Jan, Feb, Apr, May, and now end Jun until Nov. They must be really desperate for customers.

Ringing tomorrow to cancel,paying €52 monthly for variety and HD

Getting a Freesat recording card from Adverts so can still use the Sky box
Saorview already set up and a firestick with Kodi installed.

Should have done it ages ago

Yes, if you stick a usb key or external hdd on it. Firestick is Amazon's little baby & Kodi is the best thing since fried bread. Loads of info on Boards about it.

I missed a call from the Cork number earlier - is there any number to call them back on?

I was cut off last week.

I just got a call offering Variety and Sports at half price for 12 months.

I then asked about HD and it was added for an extra €5 pm for the 12 months. No contract for either. First two months free. Happy enough with that. 5 weeks ago today I was switched off.

Just rang them back.

Got the same offer as mount joy mugger

€49 a month for variety, hd, sports and movies for twelve months. Also haggled for €100 credit. Only 31 days notice required to cancel and can downgrade package at any stage.

I'm happy with that as it basically means I've everything for the equivalent of less than what they were trying to charge me for 5 months

Can you help or direct me to this info?

I've been trying to get xmbc/kodi running properly via various plugins. But none of them seem to work very well.

USB ports are located in the back of most modern TVs

Amazon Fire TV stick is a streaming media device sold on Amazon UK that plugs into a HDMI port on your TV

Can ye keep this stuff off the thread, please?

wife rang to cancel and they rang me back to discuss options
offered the following
variety with split sports(1&5 or 2&5) 43 a month for 10 months
with HD 50.50

variety with full sports 50.50 a month I think for 12 months but maybe was 10
with HD 58 a month

No contract

I was pushing ahead with cancellation until she said that as a long term customer we get the variety pack at 32pm instead of 38pm and that will reset if cancellation is initiated.........

She is calling back Sunday !morning anyway whilst I think about it

matrixf

Got the offer I wanted today, €56.50 for variety/sports/movies/hd and multiroom for 12 months, also got a free 2nd sky+hd box on the way with free installation, happy enough with that!

NATLOR

Rang to cancel today was offered a few options but nothing close to some of the deals reported here.
Told him i wasn't accepting anything less than 12 months half price as iv'e been a long term customer and always paid full price but was told he couldn't do that so went ahead and cancelled.
Will see if i get any further offers in the coming weeks

Were the offers better or worse than the one I outlined above ?

Niemoj

My bill is gone back up to €38 now the offer is after expiring.

What are the current offers going for Variety, the €38 package?

I'd say worse, i only have the variety pack with HD was paying €53,they offered €36.50 to stay on that.Alternatively was offered a downgrade to the basic family package for €19 no HD. He said there is no half price offers and certainly no'free months' available.
I'm not bothered as everything I watch can be sourced through other means.It is a good service and very user friendly but not worth anything like the money they want at present

Both my samsung tvs have multiple usb ports but pressing pause rewind on the remote with a usb stick connected doesn't do anything.

You probably have to change the "source" or "input" - ie. from HDMI 2 for example to "USB" or "external device" depending on how its labelled.
