Slightly off topic. Lost the will to live with them yesterday. After 40 mins waiting to get through to Customer Services, then told there were no offers available for me (just out of contract) and having to wait another 10 mins to get through to Retentions, I lost the cool and just told the poor lad not to bother with trying to keep me I just wanted to cancel. To be fair thats what he did.

Now should I just sit tight and wait for an offer or is the concensus that I wont hear from them? I really only watch the FTA stations but use the record function a fair bit.

Thanks.

If it's a SKY+ box, you will be able to watch the UK FTA stations without a Sky sub.
Take the Sky card out and turn the box on and see what stations you can still get.
If it's a SKY Q box, you have to return it but you could get a SKY+ box cheap enough and use that if you have the right connection.
You won't get the Irish stations without a Saorview box or aerial.

Can you get HD on free to air using the box?

Just to add to the above replies, you will get a proper EPG when you whip out your card, but you won’t be able to record etc without your card nor when you get switched off and have your Irish card in. But there are cards you can get which will allow you to keep using the record function. I’ve posted about it before if you search through my posts

Ok.... latest for me currently on Q plus mini box for €56 a month

Offfer is to move me to Singature Package PLUS
* sports
* sports extra
* cinema
* Hd + UHD
* box sets
* documentaries -discovery & history channels
All for €102 for 6 months

Thoughts ????

Box sets and docs aren't extra, they're what comes with the signature pack. You're getting sports movies and uhd for 46, how much will it be after 6 months?

I got sky q in this morning. I just understand why sky needs to charge for HD? All tvs are set up for hd. I refuse to pay for it so still have standard

Got straight through at 9am this morning.
15 min phone call to cancel. Final offer was approx 30% off basic, sports and HD.
I am definitely cancelling but will report back what they offer me in next 30 days!

Have heard nothing back
Think I’m cut off from tomorrow or Tuesday

Question about Sky signature.

I'm on the entertainment pack and I haven't signed up to SkyQ - for an extra €1 I can switch to signature and get box-sets included which I don't already have.

Do I have to switch to SkyQ to sign up for the signature package?

No, you will know you are getting Sky Q as they have to come out and change cables/boxes etc. Hope you are getting your c. 35% reduction. You will get Documentaries as well with Signature if you don't have them already, Discovery Channel, National Geographic etc

Keep your old box and make sure you can connect it to the dish after they have done the install.
This means if you ever get rid of Sky Q (have to return the equipment to them) , you will still be able to get FTA stations using your old Sky box.

Any Sky Q upgrade deals? don't want to pay €155.......?
Am a VIP platinum and on a 40% off deal at the moment.

They rang and emailed me offering a free upgrade to Q. I didn't take it I'm waiting until I'm out of contract in May and will cancel, see will they offer me something decent.

I see they are offering HD free for 6 months now for new sign ups

That's big of them it's free with every other provider. Seriously considering moving to VM next month their picture quality is outstanding.

That was my point, they probably realise they've milked it for long enough. Ridiculous.
