Won't such people already have a dish, merely needing realignment? Fliss -- She said: You're going stay here with your ex-wife because her sheep's dying? He said: No, because *our* sheep's dying... |

Your implying "all" the costs of getting SKY are down to owning a SKY HD box. You're implying that I'm trying to get Sky, I'm not. Most of the cost is down to subscribing to channels whatever SKY box you use. If you want those channels (only an idiot would have subscription TV if they don't offer something they want!) There's no point in subscribing to Sky if you hate sport & love movies. then HD is an "additional cost". You misunderstand; subscribing is an additional cost to getting HD via the route of Sky's "£75" offer - which costs £1,665 over five years.

Yes? The standard price quoted for a Freesat installation is 80 pounds. So this deal saves five pounds & gives you a free new Sky digibox. The only drawback is that it is only available to those who have never had a subsidised Sky installation before. I would guess there are now very few who quality as most of those who might be interested in satellite TV will have had Sky at some time in the past. Won't such people already have a dish, merely needing realignment? I was thinking more of the fact that the only way to get the 'free' digibox is with the installation which is only available to people who have never had any subsidised offer from Sky before. -- Cheers Nigel Barker Live from the sunny Cote d'Azur |
