Just go to ao.com and you can buy the latest Humax Freesat Box for only £184. That is only about 2.5 Months subscription that I am paying. I am really tempted to quit SKY and go the Freesat route.

http://ao.com/product/hdr1100s-humax...37185-125.aspx It's worth checking the Humax site too for refurbished models, including the older one that is basically identical hardware wise, but bigger. I have one in a bedroom and like the display. Then there's the older one with Wi-Fi too, or the £40 quid box that can do recording via a USB HDD - the cheapest option of all, if not so elegant. |

I thought I had a nice deal on Sky Movies whem my deals section in My Sky was showing an offer of £6 per month for 6 months but turns out it isn't for Sky Q subscribers.
I'll stick with no movies in that case |

I have always found online chat the best way to get the best deals personally.
I have just got my second year of 60% off and £100 credit on my bill. Both times though I have had to go through with my cancellation and this year was harder than last. |

I think you'll find that Richard_Cranium was talking about the initial online chat, where you won't get such a good deal, you have to go through with it, then wait for the offer on your account, then you can go back to an online chat agent, where you'll get a better deal.
so do i need to wait until 31 days before my cancellation date, or can i cancel now, 6 weeks before my earliest leave date? |

Having ditched Sky, I think I got a pretty good deal this week (too good in fact, as I had a load of vouchers that I can't now use) meaning I now have Now TV paid up until the end of June 2018!
Only the Entertainment channels mind, but I'm happy and now wondering if my vouchers can be added to extend it further, or if they'll expire by then? From now on all I need to do is use my movies vouchers to get a year, and then buy day or week passes for sport as and when. What's more, I'm currently without any satellite reception due to the bad weather and TV over broadband is working fine! |
