the
same if you take the mags or not!!

How do I get the mag?. I joined Sky about 6 months ago and I have never
received the mag (come to think of it, I have only received a printed
bill once).
I am on the basic package (not sky +)

I'm sure that you only get this mag when subscribing to any premium channels
(movies, sports)

I think you only get it if you have been subscribed for movies or
sports channels at any time. I got movies turned on one christmas, but
downgraded afterwards and still get the magazine. I can assure you,
you're not missing anything.

I`ve only ever been on the absolute basic package, and I get the magazine.
Not that it gets read before it gets recycled mind you.

The letter I got with this months mag quoted £4.75...perhaps it depends on
how much your subs are!!!

As someone else says, it's 1.75, but they'll reduce the sub by the
same amount so you pay the same overall.

Basically, they're just reintroducing the VAT dodge they had a few
years back so they can claim it back, or something like that, due to
putting a fictional price on something that's given away free.

The mag's a waste of toilet paper anyway. There are no proper
schedules in it and the letters are all

Q: "Dear Sky, I love (actor/programme). When are they next on Sky?"
A: "Thankyou for your letter. (Actor/programme) can be seen on Sky
this month starting..." etc.

They just hold on to the letters until they can fit them in with their
advertising of their cheesy wares... or, heaven forbid, they make
them up!

They make them all up.

I've only ever been on the basic package but the wretched thing keeps
arriving. I've looked through one and binned all the others since. How
do I go about cancelling it?

A letter sent with my magazine last week says:

2007 the total price you pay to BSkyB Publications for your magazine
will be £1.75. Your subscription payment will be discounted by the price
of the magazine, so you won't see any changes to your monthly payment,

I'd like to know if I can save money by cancelling the magazine, too.

What part of "your subscription payment will be discounted by the
price of the magazine" is unclear? No magazine, no price, no discount.

None of that sentence in isolation, but that wasn't the question. It
doesn't make it clear that you only get the discount if you also take
the magazine. It could easily mean that everyone's getting a £1.75
discount on subs.

I see your point, but then that would make me wrong, and since we
can't have that, I'll just say nothing. :-)
