Back to sky?

As a former Sky digital subscriber I have received an offer for half
price subscription for 6 months and a replacement digibox.

I think I understand the offer. I guess the mimimum package offering
footie is "Sky family pack with Sky sports world" for 16.50UKP per
month for the first 6 months.

The replacement digibox is more pressing. Why do I need a new one? What
are the pros and cons of replacing my old Grundig (I didn't know I
owned it!?)? The replacement it said to be worth 149UKP(!).

If I get this offer for just 6 months with the replacement, I wonder if
that means they can take my digibox away when I just want to be
Sky-free and watch FTA channels like BBC/ITV?

Wait till the end of this year.
$ky have anounced some sort of change, with ITV1 Ch4 and Ch5 available for
some sort of one off fee, but details are not yet clear.

I already receive ITV, CH4 and CH5 on the $ky platform without a
subscription to $ky.

Get thee money out then... That's all Sky are interested in seeing.. The
colour of your money, and plenty of it at that !

The offer in question ties you to a 12 month contract. The first 6 months
at half price, the second 6 months at full price. So the second 6 months at
full price will fall between February and July (the summertime when $ky
usually struggle to attract viewers). Then its footie season again and all
the viewers (hopefully) come back again!

Is there a watching paint dry channel on Sky yet?

There seems to be about everything else, so it can't be long...
