Is there a way of blagging a new sky box off them? Ours is temperamental at times, you'd think they'd do upgrades like with a mobile contract.

Call them up and tell them you want to cancel your subscription because the box is on the blink and you don't want to pay out for a new one, if they think that's the only way to keep you on as a customer they'll usually give you a new one.

This is how we got our package costs lowered...phoned up and gave our 30 day cancellation notice and within a week someone from their retentions department called the wife and knocked 35 quid off of our monthly bill and upped our internet package

Yep it's always worth threatening to cancel every now and then, they get so desperate to keep hold of you they'll offer all sorts. Same with internet and mobile phone providers :thumbs:

Do not no why but I just carnt line the pockets of that c@nt Murdoch.lol

I wrote exactly that when I left Sky. Sky stopped phoning me to renew after that.lol

 

Never been with sky and the odd time in the past when they have phoned or their salesmen knocked on the door offering deals I would go into a tirade of abuse about Murdoch much to the puzzled look of their sales people obviously thinking I was a nutter so they never botherd me again.lol

40 or 50 quid a month for tele??? Ye got more money an time than me haha

Bad enough having to pay for the BBC tv license, I've never had any of the other pay to view tv stations and never will. It should all be done through freeview, Dick Turpin hasn't a patch on the robbing b@stards.
