Sky's yearly price increases are a total joke.

This one is actually the second of this year!

i rang the other day, no discounts for new subscriptions. so I told them where to go.

If i wanted a new TV i'd buy one same with the tablet they tried to off me.

bottom line is, if you want to join them wait till they offer half price for 6 months.

cena

Sky in going up by a euro next month.

Over the course of a year, taking the basic package at 29.50 per month.

No discounts = 29.50 X 12 = €354
With TV (assuming TV valued at the lower retail price quoted in earlier post) = €354 - €245 = €109
With discount (half price for 6 months)= (6 X 29.5) + (6 X 14.75) = €265.50

So if you were looking for a TV anyway it is not a bad deal. Though I'd say it's a pretty crap TV

I was quoted 104 euro, for broadband, tv and a second room +(an extra 199 if i wanted a recordable box in the second room)

104*12=1248 for the full year
or if they were doing the half price deal. then it would be
52*6+(104*6)=936

so thats 312 euro there charging for the TV.

Your BB cost includes line rental @ €30 a month. There are no discounts or offers available on that.

Be sure the tv isn't a load of crap before signing up for it.

It obviously becomes less attractive the higher up the packages you go and the bigger the discounts that are possible. It certainly won't suit everybody, but it might suit some people.

i lovewine

problem is that on some of the other forums people are having trouble with there broadband dropping and Sky not sorting it out !!. i am out of contract with sky soon , have 2 sky+ boxes in the house so was going to give them another contract plus the broadband but am not now. plenty of options out there now for tv, i see they dont name the model of tv, would not be surprised if its a discontinued model !!!

DANNY2014

'model is a LG 32lf510 seems to.be On sale more in Europe very little.English specs for it... Could be worth it as we were thinkin of joining sky so it's a ill.bit of an incentive??? Variety bundle be the best to go.for???

DANNY2014

It says one per household new customers only worth a shot?

bennyc

30e set up fee, I take it you pay that regardless, new box and dish also if required, my dish is rusted and the lnb got a shot with a football so no harm in replacing it.
Going to cancel in the morning and go for it. Cheeers OP

Jesus Wept

how bout they keep the telly and give me free ****

spongbob

How can I add a second standard box into the package, no options online anymore for that?

Scruff

might be better off waiting to see what going to be rolled out with then new Sky-Q boxes & packages before being tied into a 12 month contract...

Prices for the sky q are going to be about 20% higher than the HD version and doubt that they will have the lower tier packages. Saw reports of 100 Stirling plus a month, although no pricing has been officially announced

You need to pay €80 install fee (well tests what sky person in shopping centre told me today) if taking the free to offer, even if you have the equipment.
They are offering €10 a month off the better pack for a year and free setup with he box, no free to, but paying €200 less than the offer with the tv.

upto 90 day wait for the tv. Hope you have one already! When did you apply?

lowelife

I signed up on 16th, installed today, but still no sign of tv...luckily I have a couple of those already

Anyone looking for the tv in a hurry is in for a big disappointment. I think people should read the very short T & C's regarding delivery of the telly.

Have tv's already just one more for.the collection... Applied last week don't mind the wait... Decent enough offer I thought...

sweetie

If I applied today could I cancel before installation (in case the folks decide they don't want it!)

OK, this is interesting. Topcashback.co.uk give £60.60 (€85) cashback for a new Sky Ireland customer on the €29 bundle. Links straight to the promo for the free tv. Hard to resist now.

My TV arrived yesterday. Just been to collect it from the post office. Just under a month from ordering to receiving so can't complain.

Now what to do with it.

jamesd

Does this tv have saorview ?

lowelife

It has a digital tuner built in but can't say what it is. Mines only hooked up to free to air satellite.

Gripes are only 1 hdmi and 1 scart. Still good enough for free.

I know a fella who cancelled his subscription, box was faulty, took out new subscription in wife's name and changed his address about a bit, feredad upper -> upper ferefad, he got new equipment, no hassle.
