Did u have any problems getting ur free sky + box? we have just done the recommend a friend, get a free sky + box. Our friend got the box, no probs, but we have been told that we will have to pay £60 set up cost for a box. We were planning on giving the box to parents anyhow, and told Sky that we didn't need it installing, but they are adamant that it has to be installed and for this price.

You need to take it right to the end of the line.

Call them again and tell them you would like to cancel and ask to be put through to the right department.

They will ask you why...

answer.

I dont think I am getting value for money, And the movies are not that great. Its for the kids really, and they are out when their programms are on so they dont watch it that much now sorry! Can you put me through so I can cancel please.

OK (sky)

When you are put through tell them the same thing. If that does not work and they offer you the same deal as before tell them that it is not a good deal as your sister got heres for £50 inc instalation. so still not a good idea. say NO THANKS.besides you got an offer in the post for a free box (Quote the ref if they ask) and say that would be the only way you would keep sky.

 

If worse comes to worse then they might offer you the deal for £50. Would you accept that

Just got off the phone with Sky now. They didn't seem interested at all, when I said I wanted to cancel the best they could offer me was £179 for a sky + box and installation! When I said that Virgin were £100.00 cheaper than them and I was thinking of moving they were not bothered!

Oh well!

I like it! I will phone sky straight away and see what happens! Thanks for the advice Mr Big I will let you know!

I had a similar offer and posted it here too! Only prob is, you need the other persons reference numbers to claim your free box ( in my case M+S vouchers) I did not think it was worth the hassle so just offered the free box to any one who wanted it!

Christmas is a time for giving not recieving and I got pleasure in giving to a single mum who could not pay the instalation fees.

Before that, I got my sky box upgraded by telling sky I did not want them anymore and wanted to cancel my DD and low and behold a free + box and free instalation came my way within 5 days. You could always try that? So we both got free boxes and instalation

Win! win! I would say!

Hello does anyone fancy sky + for Christmas?!! If you do let me know because the new sky offer until Dec 12th is the introduce a friend to sky and not only do you get a free sky + box so do I!!

 

I know it's cheeky and I'm sorry if I have broken any forum rules!
