Just checked my SKY account, the offer of 25% off plus a free SKY+ box is gone,
wonder if they are playing hardball

Any landline number to call them, that 0818 number will cost me a whack if I'm waiting 10 mins.

So has everyone who cancelled or threatened to cancel received the 50% offer?

Nope, called cancelling on 23rd August.

Vego · 08-09-2014 5:49pm

Rang sky nothing major really offered probably just going to cancel it

toonarmy1 · 08-09-2014 6:17pm

has anyone taken up the 25% off for new customers offer ?

Owryan · 08-09-2014 6:23pm

My sky account is cancelled a couple of weeks now and i got the 3 months free and then 50% off offer. When i rang them tho to see if perhaps they could do something about my faulty sky box they were unable to offer any solutions.

Yes, it seems they have 'fixed' the issue where people were being offered the UK offers of 35%/50% off via my Sky.
Although I would bet that if you rang the UK number you'd still get the offer.

firestarter51 · 08-09-2014 9:50pm

sometimes you have to go ahead with the cancellation but they will ring back shortly before or just after cut off date
have faith and cancel if you are not offered 50 per cent off

I have always been inundated with offers from sky once I have been cut off, rarely receive calls from them though, I missed one and the last time I answered got 2 months free and half price for next 10 months after that

Yeah gone from my mysky page too. Wonder what this means for the bargains now.

Sorry to interrupt lads but when you have the Sky HD pack, RTE 2 HD changes from 115 to 102 right? Mine did that originally but it's been switched back again. Anyone know a quick fix to get RTE2 HD back to 102 rather than the SD channel be on 102.

The other channels like Sky sports for example are in HD from 401-406 they're fine just issue with RTE 2 HD.

Thanks.

That's strange, I don't have the HD pack and RTE2 HD is on 102 along with UTV HD on 103.

TV guide is fairly quick especially when you can select hd channels only
Rte 2 hd is 102 for me
Still nothing on it worth watching

I missed that

Philip7304 · 10-09-2014 11:40am

Just cancelled my Sky sub after joining when they launched in Ireland. Think it was 98 or 99...cancelled sports and movies two years ago to reduce costs.. always had full package..movies sports..didnt get any discount offers....currently have hd and multiroom 66e...
Got through to the Irish call centre and in fairness very friendly..but best offer I got was a €11 discount...

I do need to reduce outgoings but I want a better deal than Groupon offer today..

Will keep you updated..

Vego · 10-09-2014 12:12pm

're rang sky today said not happy with the price offered yesterday ..to be told oh he shouldn't have offered you said price ...he then proceeded to add another 8 Euro on to original quote ....at that point we said we're just gonna cancel ....sky are a bunch of idiots

all calls are recorded so you could argue you're case and get that price if you wanted

I got that too last week and didn't take it. Called back this week and they offered the same deal but also 1/2 price HD for 9 months but nothing off multiroom. I didn't take it but told them I would think about it.
I will call up and cancel and see what they say today

Original quote wasn't great anyway just rubbed salt into the wound when you get a price hike instead if cut (on quote)

Will play the waiting game for now have till the 11th till the screen goes blank

Does anyone know how long do you need top be out of contract before you are considered to be a "New Customer"?
Or can you cancel current contract and then sign up to this offer in your partners name?
