I know this is the tv section but I was hoping for more help. I got the 60% off tv by cancelling now my line rental offer is up and on chat the guy said there was no way of getting an offer on that again because I have 60% off on the tv. Any advice
Take up the Carphone Warehouse offer of Sky TV, Sky Talk Unlimited and broadband including line rental for only £16.31 a month.

Change ISP. Plenty of deals out there.
I would never have TV & broadband from the same provider....reduces your bargining power IMHO. Don't put all your eggs in one basket as they say.
I'd day it increases your bargaining power. They've got more to lose if you walk away.

I currently have Sky and have handed in my notice
How do I get a new box with them? The guy on the phone said he could only repair it but I want a new box.
Should I go ahead with the cancellation and join sky again with a different name?

Join Sky again under a different name with Carphone Warehouse and you will get a 1TB Sky Q box, Sky Talk Unlimited, unlimited broadband for £16.31 a month. I got a great deal of a Sky Q 2 TB box, Sky mini box, Megafast fibre and Sky Talk Unlimited for only £38 a month inclusive of line rental.

I think that's what I'm going to do but I only want sky tv. I want phone and tv with virgin....anyway I can just get tv?
Can't believe how stingy sky are when it comes to boxes. I have only ever had one. On and the man was so against me getting a new one.
I would go virgin for tv but I've heard their TiVo boxes are horrible and slow, so I don't want to go there lol!

I'm sure CPW will do deals for just TV with a Sky Q box. Or maybe speak to someone at Sky in the win back team and they may offer you a new box.

You need to ask for cancellations first then ask them to put you through to the win back team.

No i dont have skyq i have no use for it, SKY+hd is what i have, but dont forget i have been away for 2 years, so sky want you back as a subscriber if you have been away that long. give them a ring you just never know they are doing 60% and £100 credit so its worth a call.

Sky do not repair boxes, if it is faulty, they will replace it, it might be a refurb box rather than a brand new box, but they won't sit there and try and fix it.

Sky are currently doing 60% deals on Sky TV only. Generally you need to cancel, wait until the 31 days is over and your channels have gone off, then log on to your mysky account to find the offer.

That 60% offer is there even before the 31 days. Usually 2 weeks after you've given notice to quit.

You have to set up with a new name to get the box right?

No you can start as a new customer under a different name. But if you want to start a new contract under the same name you will have to wait 60 days.
