Bull shit from sky cancellations
 
I've just cancelled my sky+ and mutiroom in favour of freeview.

The advisor at sky has told me I MUST keep my sky+ connected to receive
freeview. I explained to her the platform was totally different etc, in the
end she said she used the term "freeviewing". She then went on to tell me
freeview was to end next year in my area...she started getting a little
annoyed when I told her that was analogue in my area. She then insisted I
would need a new roof aerial...she finally shut up and let me cancel when I
explained hd was on its way to freeview next year.

I wonder how many they con in to staying with them with this bull?

You sound just as unreasonable! It sounds to me as if the Sky person and you
were at totally cross-purposes about Freeview and FreesatFromSky!

I wish you'd taped it. It would be good to hear it. Get 'em bang to rights.

You were both having a different conversation because you were both
being deliberately misleading about the meaning of words used.
They are sales people and paid on how many conversions they do -
getting customers back and preventing them from canceling.

Not in this case as both were trying to be deliberately vague about
terminology
and words being used.

No more than were "conned" into thinking once they bought a Freeview box
their reception problems would be over I suspect?
