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. -- Dave F |

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! Jon |
