Deals On Sky TV Service - (Mostly Cancellation deals)

Sky Sports & Sport Extra pack currently €30 per month for 6 Months. Does anyone know if you get HD as standard without the HD package? Seems crazy charging €8 extra just to watch the sport in high definition.

I think Premier Sports 1 & 2 included in the Sport Extra pack is HD - but you have to stump up the €8 for Sky Sports & BT Sports HD channels.

I thought the same, thanks for replying

There is an offer up for me to upgrade to sports and movies for 6 months at 24.50 per month. Do you think that's the best deal around? Haven't seen anything better than that.

It's €49 without any offers, so you're getting a very good deal there.

Yes that is a brilliant offer....considering you would spend that much on a few groceries you fit in to your pocket .yet all the movies you can watch plus sport in one month...its a no brainer..go for it

I pay it generally for the sport, I get sports extra as well. I need my football fix. I know theres other means of getting it, but it's not worth the hassle. Movies is discounted to €9 when you have sports, so it's worth getting.

Any decent offers on broadband for existing customers ? Ive it been offered €39 for 12 months. I have TV too and getting the standard 35% off.

39 for 12 months is good enough value

Meh when new customers can get it for €30 it doesn't seem great. I might switch to Vodafone who offer the same.

Very true.
It's about time these companies gave the same "new customer" offers to existing customers.
Just ring and cancel the service and be prepared to move if they don't offer you a deal to stay.
No reason to stay if offer doesn't suit as there's enough choices out there nowadays.

12 month Sky contract due to end in December. I am paying €84 p/m for basic + Sky Sports, BT sport's and Sports extra.

Anyone think I'd get a cheaper deal if I rang up or is this the cheapest?

Thats really good, as the retail price for both sport packages is 70+. You'll probably get a discount if you sign a contract.

I rang them last week as I my current offers on sky sports and sports extra were up. They have given me both again for 1/2 price for 6 months so happy with that. Dropped the monthly cost a lot. Ill ring again when up again

Glad I found this thread We were paying ~€50 the past few years for a pretty basic bundle, called today to cancel but was offered the service for €20 p/m for the next 12 months with no contract and cancel with 31 days notice which is fair enough. We lose HD but for the amount we use it, paying that isn't too bad I suppose.
Was on the phone for over an hour on hold though :rolleyes:

Anyone on here got sky multiroom? I rang up sky the other day and was told it would cost me €110 for install and skyq box and then €23 p/m. Thought it was a tad dear!

NAW.... I got installation for €25. No one pays €110++

The €23 is about right BUT make sure they give you a 2TB box (can easily slip you a smaller 1TB if you not looking!)

Also... got them to split teh LNB into 2+2 (2 for Q and 2 for the Freeview using the old Sky+ box in bedroom!)

Bit of a contradiction there no?

Not a contradiction mind you I wrote it as if I were drunk lol. What I meant to say was I left Sky and didn't get any offers to stay so I signed up with Eir. Eir are awful I cancelled within 3 days and was glad I still had a few weeks left on my Sky before it was completely gone.

Sky has now finished the cancellation and now that I would be only too happy to bite their hand off for an offer I am getting nothing. I even tried signing up as a new customer under my sons details, so new name , new bank details and new email. It wouldn't let me set up as a new customer. Came up with an error saying this address was previously registered and can't be used to set up a new account.

I was wondering if anyone has had a call with an offer after Sky have gone to the trouble of sending out the returns packaging.

On a side note avoid Eir at all costs.

ring them
tell them you just moved in

I left Sky few months ago and never got any "come back to SKY" offers.

€19 a month for multi room is also dear.
