sky + for a current subscriber.
 

I want to get sky + but Ive been a little put off by the amount. I am
currentley a sky subscriber and feel a little hard done by with the discount
they are offering to new comers. Does anybody know of any deals for
subscribers that are coming in the near future.
Thanks

You are expecting a bit much. Why should they give you a discount? The most
extra subscription they will get from you if you have Sky+ is 10 pounds per
month perhaps nothing if you are already subscribing to the premium packages.
Contrast that with a new subscriber where they will get 30-40 pounds per month.

Sorry.
I dont mind paying the £41 a month as I do now but what I mean is the £149
plus £60 installation in the first place.

Exactly! Sky are a business expecting to make a profit. They are already
receiving 41 pounds per month from you. If you get Sky+ they will receive no
extra money from you. What possible reason would they have to subsidise your
purchase of Sky+?

Well he could be so disgruntled with the pricing difference for loyal
customers, compared with new customers, that he decides to ditch Sky, cancel
his subscription, and get a freeview PVR.

In that scenario, they could go from £41 a month to nothing....

As a "thank you" for being a long-time subscriber? To gain a lot of
good-will?

The only companies that don't care about customer good-will are the
ones with no competition.
