    I had Original and Sports for the past 9 months at 50% off. I think it came to €32.50 and I then had a multiroom box at full price (€15) so in total I was paying €47.50. But since my deal expired, my bill has risen to €80.

    I rang to cancel hoping I'd get the same deal again, but the best he offered me was Original and Sports for €52 and half price Multiroom so €59.50 total. I went ahead and cancelled for now.

    Was due to get cut off next Tuesday. Logged into Sky Service App recently and got a message offering 35% off, rang them and they knew nothing about it and only offered 20%. So sent a PM to Sky on here looking for the 35% off and half price HD.

    Got a call back this evening offering 50% off with 12 month contract. So €44.50 for Variety, Sports and HD. Happy enough with that.

    Just checked this myself and have the same 35% off offer... hmmm, maybe a PM to the Sky Reps might be worthwhile

    It's only online though!

    I tried ringing in but they told me that they literally have no way to do it on their systems. I was a little disappointed but then I realized the deals you get whilst on the phone are way better than the online offers

    Does any one get a free little black box off sky for free, and now it wont let me watch box sets on it at all, which is whole point of getting it off them, as an offer to stop me cancelling, so annoyed with them. Then they send me a email to say get sky go app for free but it wont let me get it on my tablet as again my package isn't up to date

    So basically a total Con, give the box for free, yet you need to sign up for HD subscription. So annoying Sky is just all in it for the money

    No. The box can also be used for on demand / catch up tv.

    They are a business after all and not a charity.

    You can still watch Catch up tv, but I agree you shouldn't need hd subscription to watch boxsets , it's included in the family pack in the UK, should be included here too!

    Anyone know if an order is cancelled within the 14 days 'cooling off' period do they come back and remove the dish from the building?

    I don't see any way they would take back a dish as they are near worthless things and wouldn't be worth an installers time to take it down.
    maybe you don't get installation till after cooling off period though.

    A family member has had first hand experience of this recently and the dish wasnt touched. A sky "engineer" (hello Winston ;)) did call and collected the box.

    Did they offer this before you actually cancelled?

    As mentioned the dishes are cheapy cheap. I assume that they will take the box alright but wasn't sure about the dish. I have an install scheduled but am genuinely unsure if I'll keep the service.

    Told them I was cancelling because of the cost, they said they could do it for €84 , I said no still too dear, came back with another price-still more than I was paying on last deal, still said no thanks, he then said he would check with supervisor and ring me back which he did with the offer. Last year they let me be cut off for about 2 weeks before they rang back so it seems to depend on who you get through to.

    Just called sky in the last few minutes to see if they'd do any deal for me. I'm disconnected about 2 weeks now after coming to the end of 9 month half price contract. Was met with a flat "nothing I can do" so it's onto a combi box or another kind of box. I'll probably purchase an alternative and they'll come forward with a "deal" !!

    Don't worry. They will contact you. And when they start, they will follow up every 3 months. I'm gone from them for 2 yrs and got an offer a few weeks ago. Won't be going back till I win the Lotto.
