Page 1 of Settle an argument about SKY+ / HD subscription fees

We`re all aware the box is £300,no arguments there. :(
However,our office argument revolves around the £10 per month subscription.
I`m sure I read that the £10 already charged to SKY+ subscribers gets dropped,so you effectively get the HD/SKY+ combo for the same monthly payment as you did when you had `normal` SKY+

Is this correct ???

not sure...but i think that is the case...I`m sure the good Dr will kow

Companies that have p**sed me off so much that I will never use them again and I hope you dont either....
Alloy Bodies of Manchester - The Grand Daddy & Benchmark for shockingly poor customer service.
Capital Bank Leasing who are part of BOS & are f**ing useless & struggle to action the smallest request but are fantastically efficient at taking money out of my account
Abbey National Absolutely diabolical service - how hard is it to change £60 of coins into notes????
....more coming soon no doubt.....

You will have to pay £10/€15 for the HD subscription, the monthly fee will go up by this amount if you want HD

Don`t you only pay for Sky+ if you don`t have any premium channels (eg Sports or Movies)

From what I`ve seen if you don`t pay the extra for Sky+ you still have to pay the extra for HD.

I must ask though, is it worth getting HD if you don`t have the movies and sports, because aren`t there only 6 or 7 channels including them? Or have more channels gone on now?

It`s a bit unclear on SKY`s website,but it does say SKY+ functionality is free if you go with SKY HD.

I`ve just been over to sky and pretended to be a new customer.

If you take the full pack (all 6 mix packs plus movies and sports), the costs come out as this:

Sky Box: £43.50 per month, free box, free installation
Sky+ Box: £43.50 per month, £99 box, £60 installation
Sky HD Box: £53.50 per month, £299 box, £60 installation

(please note these are the full costs - the current promotion has the first 3 months half price)

If you take a Sky+ box, you will be charged £10 a month unless you take sports and/or movies in which case it`ll be waived (as shown above).

If you take a Sky HD box, the Sky+ service is free no matter what package combination, but you MUST pay £10 a month for the HD service. So the cheapest option here would be to take any 2 mix packs (regular price £15) + £10 HD and you`d still get Sky+ functionality for nowt.

Hope this clears things up.
