I can't find the thread at the moment but I seem to rememeber reading
recently (probably on usenet) that someone had bought this, then phoned
Sky on the number given and the person dealing with it didn't know
anything about this particular deal.

I pointed this deal out to a relative who has terrible TV reception and
can't receive Freeview and the install process went fairly smoothly for
them a few months ago, they had to pay postage at the time from Dixions
for the cardboard box containing the Sky reference number but that seems
to be dropped now.

It isn't a direct from sky offer - you sign up via the high street. This
one is dixons apparently.

Excellent. Thanks for that. I've just forwarded it to a relative who
keeps dithering about Sky and only got a Freeview box relatively
recently.

Not 'worried', they realise not everyone wants or is able to pay monthly, so
this is what they are doing to access that market.

No! As always the digibox is yours from the day you sign the contract.

Freeview & this package are complimentary as while there may be 4 x the number of channels on
satellite there are many available on Freeview that are subscription only on satellite(More4 E4.
There are also some good channels on satellite that are unavailable on Freeview (Performance, some
old movie channels).
