i thought you could only cancel if you moved house to a non sky area? When we moved they do a sky move for free.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3091022/Ma...
I suspect there is more to this than the article makes out.
Well they managed to convince me to come back for another year. 60% off plus a £140 credit on my bill.
So basic package plus sports £18.20 a month. Getting 7 months free! Would have paid me if I just took the £8 TV package... Desperate to have me back!

They have been offering me 60% off plus £100 credit for months now, but it's only if you still have your original box etc, I tried bragging the 1tb box and I'll come back to no avail.So basic package plus sports £18.20 a month.

Bit of a resurrection...my half price deal expired so I'm going through the whole process again.
I am being told that in order to get F1 in HD I only need the Original bundle + Sky Sports. Previously I needed the Family bundle and premium HD pack in addition. Does anybody know for sure what is required to watch F1 in HD? I need to be sure so I don't paint myself into a corner during the 'negotiations'...:-)
Thanks!

As someone mentioned above there was a legacy pack where you got F1 by just having the HD add on. Now you need Sky Sports to get F1.I am being told that in order to get F1 in HD I only need the Original bundle + Sky Sports. Previously I needed the Family bundle and premium HD pack in addition.

Having the legacy pack puts you in a bad position when negotiating a discount I found. I got roughly 10% off mine but they were offering bigger discounts if I came of the legacy pack. Seems like they want to everyone off the legacy F1 pack.
I left Sky 3 months ago (Legacy HD pack), the offers have been getting better and better every week. I've held firm until now but got a letter with this one on Saturday...
Everything (as in HD, Sky Sports, Sky Movies, Box Sets etc) for £25 per month for 12 months.
Considering we were paying more than that for a Legacy HD pack with no Movies or Sport (aside from F1), it's tempting and frustrating in equal measure. I think my Dad is paying about £70 for the same package.
I don't think I've ever seen a cheaper deal for 'the works' actually quoted in a mailshot (i.e. not agreed over the phone).

Thanks all. Cancelation initiated, let's see what does or doesn't get offered.
For clarity, I wasn't lucky enough to be on the Legacy HD deal so in order to watch F1 in HD( my main requirement), I previously had to get:
- Sky Sports (for F1 Channel)
- Family Bundle (in order to be eligible for the HD pack)
- HD pack (required to view F1 in HD)
I'm now being told that I only need the Original bundle + Sky Sports to view F1 in HD, which seems a bit good to be true!

Running through a dummy order on the sky website suggests this combination is valid.You could always call them up or have a 'Live chat' to confirm.

Just called to cancel the lot, on the back of no motors tv.
Current offer is 17.50 for line rental, boradband, and keep the recording functionality of sky +.
What's the forunm wizdom - cancel the lot and hope for a decent offer for telly in a month, or just take the (pretty good tbh) BB offer and sack the telly off?
