Mirror sub already available?

ceejay · 30-10-2002 11:43am #1

I have been told by my brother-in-law

that mirror subs are available here, and in fact have been available since May. At least two people allegedly have extra digiboxes for an extra €10 a month. Supposedly there's a box you can tick on a new version of the subscription form that relates to this.

Now frankly I'm sceptical, since there's been no mention of it here, and I would have expected this to come up if it's true. Can anyone confirm/deny that there's a new subscription form with anything like this, or that they have heard anything about this?

Ciarán.

I just called sky looking to get a second digibox of my minidish.

Can do. Cost €21.50 a month + cost of digibix.

Was given a couple of uk numbers to call to order. Going to give them a go tonight

I can confirm that an extra option like this wasn't on my form (signed up on Aug 28 this year)

To help you on you way sir

I called sky on 1800 535 767 and they gave me the following two numbers as well as the prices

[For the Digibix] 08705 800 777

[For the Sub] 08705 432 491

Hope this helps

Dave,

What prices did they quote ? I have been on hold for 15 minutes !

Got through and the plot thickens.. I was told that second sub was not available, I asked him to check this out and he came back and confirmed that it is 'definitely not available in ROI'.
Another puzzle (or just poor information in the Customer Service Dept).

None of the Sky contracts we have at work have anything regarding extra subscriptions. I would imagine it's the same contracts used throughout the country.

Thats funny because I got the answer that it was available at 21.50 euro which is cheaper than the 15 sterling they charge in the uk.

I'll call them again this afternoon and try and order it. See what they do if I wave some money there way.
