    It's worth it for the fiver but too much anything over that. It really should be free at this stage.

    I signed up for it the other day mainly because i got a new huge HD tv and wanted to take advantage of the picture. The fact that the boxsets are included definitely makes it worth the 7.50

    No. You can PM them on the 'Talk to Sky' thread and ask them to call you at a convenient time, but you cannot cancel via email.

    There was no chance they were giving it to me for 5 quid. I tried on the phone and on live chat and even said i was thinking about leaving to go to UPC for their free HD, i wont fall out with them over 2.50

    In a roundabout way you can cancel without having to call them but you still have to talk to them on the phone though. I dont have it here but a search of the help section of their web site will show a contact email address and if a cancellation notice is sent via that they will call you back.

    In saying all that its much easier, as you suggested, to post in the Sky talk to forum and request a call back.

    Still advertised at 5euro on the website. I would've persisted.

    They're bluffing. Play hardball. If enough do, then they will notice the cancellations, and address the issue, most likely by offering deals.

    Signed onto my account there as an existing customer and can add HD/Box sets for €7.50 for 12 months... 2 quick questions:

    - Is that the current price? Don't see anything about €5
    - Is that a 12 month contract that you commit to? I currently have a deal with no minimum contract terms

    Cheers :)

    I think the €5 hd offer is expired. If you had HD before you won't enter another contract. If you're a first time hd customer it does entail entering a new 12 month contract.

    I did, but cancelled it under the overall renegotiation last year.. but it would be nice to have it back with my new TV :) Feck it.. I'll add it and work it out down the line if it comes to it.

    What is the best way to get the best deal from Sky ?

    We have been customers for 12 years. I don't really want to cancel outright and start again etc.

    Our ideal Package is Variety Pack with Movies and HD. That comes to €82 per month with is too much for us.

    At the moment we have Variety Pack with HD which is €54 after cancelling the Movies following 12 months of Movies on half price.

    Are there any deals for existing customers ?

    Was talking to a Sky person in Tesco last week but he had a seemingly very convoluted way which involved cancelling everything and then starting again in my husband's name etc which I don't want to do.

    All advice welcome.

    Our cancellation took effect st the beginning of February - still waiting for a call back to entice us...

    We want the original package, HD and multi-room (to cover an additional tv) for €30. If not, the OH won't be watching much F1 this year.

    The best offer we got before we disconnected was €40

    I'm on variety, multi, hd & movies and they offered me a 15% reduction from the 104 bill...really didn't budge on that. I'll be cancelling once the hour goes forward ! Told them i'd be happy to stay if they could go to 40% discount but they said no way.

    Called sky to cancel, was only offered 15% off the original bundle and I declined and went through with the cancellation. When I got off the phone I checked the sky service app and there was an offer of 50% off for 6 months with a 12 month contact.

    If I don't accept this offer is it likely to improve? Might I get offered 12 months half price if I wait til closer the end of my 31 days notice period?

    Anyone managed to get a free / cheap HD box out of Sky? The folks just got a new TV, but still have an old white box.

    It's €200 on their website which is ridiculous for a box they hand out for free to new customers.

    he came straight back and told me he would bring the tv down from 93.50 to 63.50

    told him half price or nothing. he was quite determined not for me to cancel but in fairness I got it all done within 20 minutes. There were no further offers back from him

    He told me, I will never get a deal from Sky again.

    We'll see about that :)

    The wait commences
