what do you need to show confirmation, a picture of the dish on your house?

The engineer gives you some receipt/card after its installed apparently.

I'm an existing customer of Sky and called to see would they give me the offer without me having to go through the hassle of cancelling and getting my partner to sign up a new contract with the Groupon offer. The sky sales rep told me that when you cancel, any person at that address will not be considered a new customer for 12 months. He did offer to reduce my bill to €20pm for the basic sky package for 9 months which was perfect for me because I will more than likely go with eVision when it is available.

I possibly could have pushed for a better deal but any price reduction where I am not tied into a new contract was good enough for me for now.

Well that's tripe if I've ever heard it!

So if you sell you house, the new owner can't join Sky for a year? Yeah right!

Just letting everyone else know what I was told. I really couldn't care less because I don't want to be tied into a 12 month contract at the moment.

The Groupon deal is really good, but not for me at the moment.

Hi all,

I called up sky and confirmed the groupon offer today. I also mentioned to them that I had been into CPW and they were offering a free tablet and the same package. The Sky guy put me on hold and came back to say that because of the CPW deal they would waive the €69 they were going to charge me for a 3rd multiroom box.

It's worth trying to push them that bit further on the deal.

Signed up to variety pack in CPW in Ennis. Costs €15 per month (12 mth contract) which also includes HD and free installation.
Girl in shop said when installed by sky engineer call back with confirmation of same and I'll get free tablet.
Great deal imo.

How long will it take for them to install, did they say ?

Well seeing as this thread is about Sky discounted packages and you didn't mention anything about Eircom in your last post it was a tad confusing

It's a 12 month contract.

cancled sky many years ago now and have been using the old box and dish ever since for free to air/view (always get confused about the two)
Anyway that CPW deal looks tempting at €180 for new dish and box installed plus a few extra channels for the year then thereafter cancel and back to free to air/view.

Even better is get them to set up a new tv point in your bedroom or wherever, and when yer man leaves, move the box to your main room and your freesat box to the bedroom. Then in 12 months time, you've 2 freesat systems in the house!

What's strange about the CPW offer is you don't get any discount for adding the movies unless you add Sports too.
They're charging €18 per month for the Sports but €28 per month for the movies, or €9 if adding Sports too.

What stations do you get through a freeview box hooked up to sky ?
I have UPC multiroom but when i change to sky i was just going to get it in one room, is it worth paying the extra per month for multiroom considering i could just use sky go in the other room ?

yeah that's actually just normal pricing for movies. it's always 9 with sports (that isn't a discount)
i think it's just there from them to hopefully sell it to people who've no interest in the sports pack, along with the 15 offer it still looks decent just above half price.


can you downgrade package during the 12 months & stay on the €15 offer?

This is what sky actually say.

I might try to get the CPW offer after my sky goes off this weekend.

I doubt it.

Unless there's an excellent offer, like the current Sports one, I'd advise signing up for the lowest monthly price, in this case €15 per month.
The day after it's installed, ring Sky and ask to add Sports or whatever. That way, you're only on a 30 day rolling contract and not committed to the full 12 months. Most times then, when you want to cancel the extras, they'll offer you a discounted price to keep it.

First of all the original deal is subject to a 12 month contract and there's no way that Sky will allow you to add Sports later at a discounted price. Take it now or dont take it at all.

That's not what I'm saying.

I'm saying you take the excellent discounted price now.
Outside this offer, if there's no discount but you want Sports, commit to 12 months of the basic package and add Sports the day after. That way you can threaten to cancel a month later without the 12 month commitment.

Yeah I know what you're saying but what Im pointing out is that the Sports will most likely be charged at the full price of €36 in those circumstances.

The choice is take it now at half price and pay for it for 12 months or chance adding it later and it can be cancelled with the usual 1 months notice but it will most likely cost the full amount

Anyhow I got to the bottom of this CPW offer when talking to a Sky agent last night.

What they are doing is giving the variety pack free, sports at half price, movies at full price and HD at full price. The simplest offer is the variety pack which is free but you pay €15 for the HD

Then if you opt for the movies its free variety pack, €28 for movies and €15 for HD making a total of €43

Opting for sports is the variety pack for free + half price sports (€18) and €15 for HD which is a total of €33

The only confusing part is the sports and movies offer. With the normal Sports pack movies can be added for €9 so the breakdown then is ....

Variety Pack = Free
Sports at half price = €18
Movies at full price = €9
HD at full price = €15
Total cost = €42

So anyone thinking of taking movies only on this offer would be better taking movies and sports as its a euro cheaper
