I end up having to pay £46 a month purely for the pleasure of paying £19 everytime that there is a PPV boxing event on, which equates to a bill of knocking on £70 a month If Sky PPV was on freeview I would be absolutely sound but as it is they have me over a barrel, it makes me sick Can you get PPV through Now TV.

When I used that link they said it was only for sky+ users and biggest discount on sky q was 25% Try this link https://secure.sky.com/mysky-extras/coming-back-to-sky?DCMP=dmc-Sky.com-ec-WinbackPVR50-Q117_18 Have it applied to your sky hd package and then upgrade to sky q carrying over the discounts. Seen someone get 60% off and £25 credit over the weekend but always start at £100. Read back the thread for the best procedures and remember that polite persistence pays!

omariqy Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 So....My 1tb box has completely gone and it's going to cost me £60 to get a new one. Alternatively, as I am moving home, Sky have offered me 2 Sky Q boxes for a one off fee of £130 with the packages and monthly cost (im on 50% deal) staying the same. Is it worth it? Should I haggle it down? I also want to add phone and broadband if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then once you're in take up their best offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they offered it me for half or free I would take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancel, move and put a new contract in under when you move in whoevers name the current one isn't in. Oh and don't tell them your new address when cancelling.

Unlike many schemes of this nature, which are designed to draw in new customers and keep them loyal, this one goes out of its way to reward existing customers, and the longer you’ve been with Sky, the better the deal. There are four levels: Silver, Gold, Platinum and Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted August 4, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2017 My contract is coming to an end on my Sky Q. Been with Sky 5 and a half years. Rang to tell them I wanted to cancel and had seen a great deal with Virgin. They offered me a deal which was adding Sky Sports back to my package, and the overall cost would go down by £10 a month. Wasn't overly impressed so said I'd go away and think about it. Whats people's thoughts on this? Shall I cancel all together and then take advantage of new offers they'll throw at me? Theres a VIP Virgin bundle with all Sky Sports, BT Sport and Sky Cinema for £90 a month that's tempting me over to the dark side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open to suggestions on how and what to do to go about getting IPTV. £100 a month, is £100 a month! I pay it through gritted teeth, and want a solution to not get ripped off every month!
