Goodbye SKY

[KAS1]

That's it, it's goodbye SKY hello FREESAT I love freesat who needs sky, I called their bluff, I was only trying to get another six months full package at half price they said No so Hello freesat

 

[static zap]

I too feel like we pay a bit much ( for a service that hates extreme weather )

You lost out then haha

 

[Johnuk]

sky is a waste of money

All you need is a decent internet connection and you can stream everything to your tv. It saves giving Rupert Murdoch money and power as well.

 

[UNG]

Have to laugh when people moan about the cost of the TV licence but will pay a small ransom to Mr Murdoch to watch adverts with some programmes shoe horned in between

How?
I have that and pay 50 odd quid/month to sky !!

I signed up with Virgin, after your 12 month initial contract is up they start trying to sneak the prices up. Aftter 12 months they had gone up quite a bit so I 'phoned customer retention i.e. followed the option to end the contract and then kept telling them I'd leave until they got the price down to the same as their competition who weren't offering anything like the same speed (I did my research before making the call). Got it down to £20 a month including phone for 30meg (which it actually is). Perhaps with more persistence I could have got it cheaper. It is fast enough to stream films though and there are loads of free websites for films and sports including Premiership football, just have to make sure your free anti virus software is decent and the virus definitions are up to date.

 

[44ALLAN]

Sounds a chore to save a tenner?

 

[derek]

I don't have to pay £600 a year for Premiership football, it's a decent saving in my opinion, still I suppose you must be loaded

Haha asif they said No, literally everyone i know has done that and they always bring the price down.

Maybe Sky have finally wised up to what every has been doing and from now on you can't get discount that easy, hmm.

 

[KAS1]

I loved the sky plus feature, but my free sat box can pause, rewind, record etc and more free HD channels, having said that what am I going to do when the next series of Boardwalk Empire comes on ?????

 

[MDJ]

I love sky and pay for HD, multi room, phone, broadband, the full package and everything else they offer, around £100.00 a month, the best thing ever to happen to british TV, just love it, tin hat on and hehe lets debate :33:

 

[KAS1]

I must confess this is the first time since the very early days of sky I haven't had it to watch and it's just as tough as trying to give up the smokes, it was just knowing it was there and know it's gone, I keep thinking about it, but that showed them I called their bluff lol

[markc123]

I only like/use sky for sky sports...the rest can rot in hell for all i care, because IMO everything including sky1 is complete horse shiz

 

[KAS1]

I now subscribe to Eurosport live streaming £36 a year, I used to subscribe to sky sports only to watch speedway now I can watch speedway for £36 a year brill

 

[markc123]

Speedway - my lass is a massive fan of that. Can't get into it myself. Theres some danish bloke she absolutley hates...hes one of the top ones, bald, can't think of his name but everytime he comes on she does her best vicky pollard swearing impressions lol.

Football, Tennis, Rugby Union & League for me. None of this spinning round on a circular track in the mud for me thanks KAS

I put freesat in a few month back, only watch The Chase in HD and that's about it. I don't know how it would compare to Sky though being as there aren't any film or sports channels on Freesat.

 

[Sintra]

but that showed them I called their bluff lol

I think they might have called your bluff as you are the one with no half price sky :lol:

 

[rmc86uk]

It's a load of rubbish getting big discounts like that. My parents have been with Sky for thirty years and only back end of last year I phoned and most we got out of them was 20% off for twelve months.

 

[Sintra]

I always chance my arm once a year and tell hem I'm skint and normally get a reduction for 6 months.

 

[not clever]

If you have time to watch the goggle box it means your all slackers and wasting working time.

Gave up giving merdoc my money years ago......over priced dross most of it.

 

[markc123]

True, but i can't live without my premiership football

 

[Robert Turnbull]

I couldn't do without sky+ it's the only reason I pay for sky, didnt know you could record with freesat. Can you get the sky sports f1 channel on free sat?

 

[markc123]

The recording is new to freesat and i could be wrong but i think you need an actual freesat box, and it's not avaiable on televisions with the freeview built in - unless they are brand spanking new this year.

You can't get sky sports F1 on freeview but you can't get sky sports. ( for a small subscription fee - thus making it not really freesat anymore lol )

 

[KAS1]

4 days now and I'm getting sick of this Freesat no decent films no decent sport never mind still got SKY news ..............But I'm hanging on without it, might have to start the smokes again lol

 

[Dalf]

Get on gumtree and type in skybox f3. You get 12 month gifts

 

[KAS1]

Problem solved, rigged up spare pc to the TV and got a brilliant Wi-Fi mini keyboard/mouse tracker (same size as a TV remote control) finding everything on the net so far, until I get bored with the net lol

 

[valleybilly]

Sky / sports / F1 , movies , all i players , all online & free via PC using a HDMI lead . 3pm kick offs on Saturdays all on line when not on TV / SKY its a no brainer !!!!!!!!!!

multi room...........how many of them is there then

I swear we went on a golf trip few year ago about 20 odd of us and stopped off at the same 'little chef' for our breakfast.

Everyone was perusing the menu when one of the lads shouted to the passing waitress( in earshot of everyone).............excuse me pet........what time do you stop serving the 'all day' breakfasts? lol

Translastion...on Sky you get more babe programs than babestation that the standard freeview offers :38:

 

[Toonlad]

The last firm i worked for, are official installers for sky. They put a promotion out a while back, and offered staff 50% package deal for life. I am a VIP sky member. So i have the full sky tv package for half price, as long as i dont break subscription.

This reason alone is the single reason i subscribe, if it wasnt for this deal then i would not entertain it.

 

[markhtly]

Pay £30 a month for my SkySports (all Sports channels) . So that's roughly a pound a day which I think considering the amount of top class sport on there , is irritatingly good value .
