Sky paying me £2.50 a month to watch movies
Thought i'd share this with you all as it might be worth a phone call.
I subscribe to the entertainment, sports and movies packages and with two multi rooms currently pay £86 a month. Thinking this was all getting a bit costly, my Wife and I decided to ditch the movies in order to save £8 monthly.
Subsequently I called on Friday, intending to do just that and I wasn't looking for any deals or negotiation at all. To my pleasant surprise and without prompting, the Guy offered me half price sports for 6 months if I kept the movies.
In effect this left me with the straight choice of dropping the movies and saving £8 per month or keeping them and saving £10.50 per month. Not a difficult choice that one!
One proviso is that come the end of the six month offer I am tied in to stay with sky for at least 6 months on any package. I have no intention of leaving sky so that's not a problem for me.
Anyway i thought i'd share.

what is it now? seems like it is £96.50pm, how are you better off exactly? (you're paying £10.50pm extra for half price sports, and still paying £8pm for movies).
No i'm paying 75.50.... 86 minus 10.50
but sports is £21pm. and you're getting it for half price which is £10.50pm. you're still subscribed to movies too at £8pm.
you said they offered you sports for half price for 6 months if you didn't drop movies - so that means paying an extra £10.50pm for sports that you didn't have previously.
Apologies again!! I'm not very familiar with the layout. After I posted I thought I was in a section devoted to sky anytime:o
Yes, as you say, I pay 21 for sport and 8 for movies. Now for six months i'm still paying the 8 pound for movies but only 10.50 for sport..... Saving 10.50 a month.
ah right, you already had sports.
Yes. I did say that in my opening post.
That's the great thing about choice, I have a mate who always tells me how Sky is a ripoff whilst he stands there smoking. Of course he spends more on killing himself a month than I do on Sky....But hey
Yes, we could all criticise others on how much they pay to watch TV, but hey we could be wasting even more on drugs, alcohol, vice, holidays etc!
I have two SKY HD Boxes, Multi-room and HD which I watch on two 42" LG HD TV's and the price I pay I think is a fair amount for the entertainment I receive 24 hours a day.
Being disabled I do not get out much and my TV is my window to the outside world. My only extravagance is what I pay SKY and for me it is worth every penny.
Well done SKY and Thank You !
