Sky HD price reduction

[skoff]

Hi All,

Just thought I would let you know that there is a new offer available for those of you that are Sky inclined. It's an HD box for £49, with a £30 installation fee for existing customers. I think you have to take the HD sub for 12 months, but you get a month free. It's still not as cheap as freesat, or Virgin, but for those of us tied into Sky already and who don't have virgin as an option it seems to be a fairly good offer.

You have to register your interest, and I think it's going to be popular, so if you want to go for it I'd do it quickly.

£30 for a box swap.

Happy days for Sky installers.

I know, not exactly taxing swapping over a few cables, but £30 is better than £60 as it used to be. Really annoying when you consider that as a new customer you would get free installation which would most likely involve putting a dish up and running cables etc.

I suppose you have to look at it as £79 for the hardware (plus the 12 months of £10 for the subscription to HD services!) in which case I don't think it's too bad as Sky do seem to offer more channels than Freesat, and we are not in a virgin cabled area, so that's not an option.
