That's odd, thanks

I checked as the increase will bring my bill over 100, barely but still will, & plain refuse to go over 100 for it all, but need multiroom & moves (granny flat) sky sports for himself. For me I have Netflix and noise cancellation ear phones

Bit the bullet and cancelled today. I had variety, sports, multi - room and HD for €96 :eek:, ludicrous, I know.
No deal what so ever on Multi-room or HD but was offered half price sports for 3 months which I refused.
On the + side, my bill in January will be €36 or €720 a year cheaper than it was this year :P

Did they let you cancel??? I had the same deal as you and they dropped me down to €79. I was paying €79 all along and they slipped me up to €96 saying 'my previous deal is up' !! I told them I will pay €79 and not a penny more....and got it (of course after talking to 3 x different people including some guy who though he could 'refine' my viewing habits and 'save me money'!!! They must think we some mugs ... )

Same here!!

They asked me if I had looked at my "budget" I nearly went through the guy on the phone!

Cancelled too, 13 years paying for sky. I had Movies/Sports/HD/multiroom the lot. They offered 15% off.

I've cancelled

whiteshorts · 02-12-2014 8:17pm

I had variety, sports, multi - room and HD for €96

I have the exact same package plus movies & an extra box for €70.

they told me to cut back!!!!

Just say to them, yeah I'll cut back I'll cancel it!

Yea, cancelled alright, cut off date is Jan 2nd. TBH you're only saving €17, it's still too expensive IMO. I'll post back if they offer me anything better.

Its hard for me as we have 2 invalids using multiroom both sports and movie fans, will ring to cancel though as cannot afford 100 plus...

stoutykid · 02-12-2014 8:55pm

My sky plus box has been giving me loads of trouble despite doing master reset etc so I bit the bullet and canceled. Thought my husband could get cpw deal so new box and cheaper sports which would be fab as it kills me to pay €70 odd for it. However when he went in to sign up they could see that sky was already at the address as I have my broadband with sky aswell and said we couldn't get the deal. Now I don't know what I am going to do.... anyone have any joy getting new free sky box...

I had a similar problem with a previous box, had to reset it at least once a fortnight

I might have a spare if you want it? it's a plus box

They gave me a free 2tb box and a 500gb box last year.

lukesmom · 02-12-2014 9:47pm

I rang them today and they just lowered my €91 by €10 so not thst good but I told them I'll probably cancel after Christmas.

i know this is slightly off topic but wanted to tell my fellow boardies
a letter is doing the rounds apparently from sky claiming they owe you(customer) money and please ring the number to arrange the refund
it is a scam and sky do not operate in this way, a picture of the letter is on facebook
it looks genuine, some people will no doubt fall for it

This one actually isn't a scam. Its people who go automatic credits on their accounts after cancellation and they dont have any details to put the money back so its just sitting on a cancelled account. Call thme on the number on the website instead of the one on the letter if you doubt it and they should be able to do it or put you through to the people who can.

That was on one of the two offers, but it's not often you get something from $ky :P

They offered me that last year, if i upgraded, but if only i could transfer recordings from HD box, as a lot of stuff on it, i like.

contacted sky today to ask why i can no longer use the on demand box they sent me out over a year ago. Used it to have the kids programmes on demand to watch for rainy days and stuff. Was told by them that they'd changed the terms and now if you wanted to watch on demand you had to buy the hd package.....even though none of the channels i want to use on demand with are hd channels..... explanation that was given to me - and this is no word of a lie - was "we've spent so much money getting all these shows we have to make it back this way".Told him i wasnt going to recoup their costs for shows i didn't want by paying a load on top of what i used to get for free and asked to be put through to cancellations, to which he promptly put me on hold, never transferred me anywhere and that is where i remained for the next 10 minutes until i hung up as the call wasn't free. Not a happy camper. Horrible way to treat loyal long term customers

I have the HD pkg, but I didn't realise to use the on demand you had to buy it just for that, as my sister-in-law downgraded to the basic as i thought that they increased the extra €7.50 for ondemand, but didn't realise you had to pay for HD as well :eek: & then an increase in Feb afaik, FFS.

I'm coming to a 9mth offer on tv & a separate offer on HD+MR, would really like to try something else

ct5amr2ig1nfhp · 03-12-2014 4:19pm

A little off topic but relating to the 15 EUR carphone warehouse offer. A family member joined SKY on the 15 EUR deal only 2 months ago. They rang today to say it's going up 2 EUR. Does this mean they can cancel the contract due to the price increase?

I'm thinking my own package will probably increase and would also like to cancel. Haven't received the letter yet though.

Further information: Offer valid for new Sky customers only. Customers must purchase The Variety Bundle, Sky Sports, Sky Movies and Sky HD to qualify for the offer. After 12 months the price goes back to the standard rate (currently €91 per month). €10 upfront payment required.

So this costs €45.5/month for the 12 months and you cant pick and choose packages?

That's correct, and sky are putting up prices from January by €2 per month

thats correct, most people get that price with a cancellation threat, but some people don't like doing that, offer is there if you want it if not
give it a swerve

The CPW latest deal is once again a bit better that the Groupon deal.

They have one offer ending today which is the same as what Sky were offering in their flyers....free box, dish and installation and the big seller - a free Samsung Galaxy tablet but no discounts on the package prices.

They also have another and much better offer that's running until Xmas eve at least. Any pack at half price with free install etc. I think you have to take the variety bundle as part of the offer but the HD sub is optional.

Variety pack + movies = €32
Variety pack + sports = €36
Variety pack + sports + movies = €40.50

HD and multiroom can be added for half price if required.

I only had a quick look at the leaflet last night but I'm pretty sure the above details are correct.

A friend of mine picked it up last weekend at the local CPW shop. He brought it to me last night looking for a bit of advice as he was unclear on a couple of issues as he doesn't have Sky himself. He said the girl in CPW told him that the tablet offer ends today but the half price offer was ongoing and that they (CPW) would be open until Xmas eve obviously meaning that the offer would be available until that date....thats the way I took it anyhow.

As I said earlier I only had a look at the leaflet for a couple of minutes but it was pretty much along the lines of their previous half price offer except HD wasn't included but could be added as an extra at half price.

it will probably go live on the website tomorrow once the tablet deal has finished

Cantona's Collars · 04-12-2014 3:24pm

The Uncle has the entertainment pack,he won't go for the new deal as it'll cost €6 a month extra for the sports (which he wants). I wouldn't mind but the basic package is going up by nearly €3 come February.
I can't understand this thought process at all.

smilerxxx · 04-12-2014 5:55pm

I rang today to order sky for my new house (he cancelled and I'm a new customer in our new home) I was offered variety + HD (&boxsets) + multi room + free installation. Price is €48.10 for 4 mths then 53.10 for 8. Does this sound good?

I can still cancel as I don't have the keys to the house yet

I think that package would normally be about €68 or €70 at full robbery price :rolleyes:

smilerxxx · 04-12-2014 6:03pm

So its not great is it?

Our new house is in a UPC area so I've ordered fibre 120 for 25 p/m for 4 months €50 thereafter. I was hoping to keep our TV & broadband under €100 but I was so happy with sky tv & I really wanted UPC broadband.

AntDub · 04-12-2014 10:33pm

Folks, thought I'd share this with you all.

Called CPW 2 weeks ago and the guy there said he got me a deal for €63 a month for Full TV package which includes SKY Sports and Movies for €40.50 ( normally €81 so half price ), HD for €7.50 ( normally €15 ) and Multiroom for €15(no discount). 2 new boxes and free installation.
I'm a returning customer.

I called Sky and told them a "friend" got the above deal and I saw his paperwork and after a bit of fuss they said they'd do the same.

Missus called to cancel and they said they'd give her the same for €57 a month but would go up in 6months, wasn't sure if I'd get the €63 p/m offer again so told her to cancel.

In either case it will be going up on Feb 1st '15

cupthehand1 · 05-12-2014 2:18pm

Just off the phone to them there, currently paying €87 (HD+ Sports) a month and the best thing I got outta her was 20% off for three months, go ahead and cancel it all says I at the next billing cycle so it's a game of cat and mouse now until the 5th of Jan....

crustybread · 05-12-2014 3:10pm

I cancelled last month. Have not had any calls with offers. Chanced my arm this morning saying I saw the 1/2 price offers and would consider coming back for this. Got the usual these are for new customers and they couldn't give it to me. They are definitely tightening up on the offers. The gits!!!!!

soundsham · 05-12-2014 8:04pm

Same as yourself ^^^

I packed up about 6 or 7 weeks ago and rejoined on the CPW offer 2 weeks ago
My old account in the missus name got an offer of 1/2 price for 9 months in the post today

FYI.

It is now possible to add the FTA HD channels via 'other channels'. You can't record them of course.

Not a deal really
It's just the regular free other Channel listing that is on the satellite thread

AFAIK it is. Completed one wk before last and was told it would run to Christmas.

Irishchick · 08-12-2014 12:13pm

Really pissed off just got a letter to say they are increasing the price of my package.

Can anyone tell me. If I cancel and take up an offer with cwh or someone else how long would I be without sky?

Stinicker · 08-12-2014 9:52pm

I got an email today offering me 50% off for 9 months, seems like an OK offer, I'm currently on 50% off for 9 months so can't avail of the offer as I'm tied in until next June. I have been availing of a 50% discount in some way since 2009 and have cancelled and resub'd a few times down through the years. I'll never pay a penny above €30/month for Sky and I'm quite happy with the price for what is a really poor offering. Since Discovery and History became reality TV channels showing redneck tv shows I lost all interest in Sky and its current main use is for RTE as I can't receive Saorview and for Sky+ for the mammy and her Fair Citys etc.

vienne86 · 08-12-2014 11:02pm

Yeah I got the letter this morning. An extra €2.50 per month from February....not sure that I have the stomach to cancel and hope right now, especially as it doesn't seem to be working for everyone.

whiteshorts · 08-12-2014 11:42pm

I got the letter and mine is going up €2 a month?
Should I be delighted I'm getting a discount?

Berty · 09-12-2014 4:56pm

Cancelled my hd today. It's pending of course. I've been on €7.50 for 18 months but the best they have is €10 for 24 months now. I don't really think it's worth €10 a month let alone €7.50 so we will see if they have offers closer to the end of the 31days notice.

thehookster · 10-12-2014 12:36pm

due to be cut off this weekend, still no call, gonna hold off for a week or two and see if I get a call....if not ill be hitting cpw with different details to avail of their deal

FourFourRED · 10-12-2014 1:38pm

Rising by €1 in Feb. Currently on €56.50 for basic plus Sky Sports 1 & HD.
