Had a email/Fb through the other day offering silly prices for Sky TV packages... Either a 2yr deal for x pounds or a monthly rolling deal for x+y pounds for all their stuff Ord Sky/sports/tnt, films etc

Now i cannot find it, any one else seen anything like this?

My old man just left after paying £180 a month for everything. Tried everything to get a decent price and they just weren't interested. They called up the day before cut off and the deal was expensive even after dropping some stuff off the package. I don't think they're really that interested at the moment. He's also not willing to start a deal for it to just keep going up. His deal started at £60 and ended up at £180 after a few years.

We told him to go cold turkey for a month to get a feel of what he actually wants back. Think he was surprised how much he didn't want after a month.

Is this an OAP discount?

Best way IMO.

Cut it off 2 years ago. Never looked back.

Timely thread. After spending a few days with my parents in the UK recently I realised how utterly terrible 'free' TV has become. My parents used to love watching F1, Rugby, Golf, Tennis, Cricket now they seem to get nothing. I was thinking of getting them Sky for Christmas. How does anyone without sky watch, say, today's England - All Black match? Secondly am I right in thinking in order to watch both F1 and Rugby, you need Sky sports AND TNT? Thanks. Going to see if I can find this OAP deal...
