Half price Sky sports or movies
 

Sky have a new offer out for punters with a Sky+ box and only the
minimum sub. Upgrade to Sky sports or Sky Movies for half the price,
so £9 extra, or both for £12.50 extra.

Not quite the 6 months half price deal of old, but nice to know they
are doing offers again.

Yeah, had that yesterday, chucked it straight in the bin. My £18.00 sub is
more than enough for me, when I want to watch movies I put a DVD on.

I dont watch many films, dont have the time. I took up the sports
offer as a birthday present to myself though - cricket season just
starting. I can leave that on in the background whilst playing cars or
whatever with the kids.

And when I want to watch movies I tune to Sky Movies and usually find
something for myself. If there are craps on Sky Premiere at the moment
you can surely find pearls on Sky Classic instead. I've got no time to
choose and order DVDs and put them on a DVD later.

On the other hand - Sky Movies delivered me few titles which I would
never picked up from the dvd library. I am really glad that I saw
them. Sky Movies gave me this opportunity to see them.

Go for this bargain.

The other problem is that Sky won't automatically downgrade after the three
months, meaning that unless you make the call, you'll end up paying the full
sub price for Movies from month four. Sky work on the assumption that you
wil forget to ring or decide to keep Movies after the time's up.
No thanks.

My mate told me to use a prepaid Visa voucher to get a three month
sub to porn sites. Download all the stuff that you can in the three
months. (I er...I mean 'he' recommends external HDD's by the way!)
Then when they go looking for more money after the three months,
the voucher has expired!

Is it possible to record the movies on Sky+ and dump them to DVD later?

Not that I would ever consider doing such a thing, you understand. It's
purely a hypothetical question.

You can only watch/backup what's in the Sky+ HDD if you currently
subscribe to the channel from whence it came. So you could record a
movie at any time, but not view it unless you had a sub to that
channel when you want to watch it.

The check against your right to view the channel only comes when you
try to watch it - you can record anything at any time.

Does that make sense?
