I think it's 12 months (might even be 18 now but not sure) before you'd be considered a new customer. Probably worth trying in April though if you can wait that long.

kila Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) I'm thinking of getting Sky TV + Sky Sports again (already have a box and card) and watching the Masters next weekend, then cancelling within my cooling off period. Don't fancy an 18 month contract of Sky TV and Sky Sports. I want to make sure I don't trip myself up doing this though! I looked at NowTV but the 'Boost' feature (to get 50fps - so making sports actually watchable) isn't available on PC/Mac. Otherwise around £30 without contract for that would've been more appealing.

Even although you have a box and card it’d most likely be a clean install with new box and card, unlikely that you’d get an install before next weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kila Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Got a deal - £27 a month with 18 month contract for TV and full Sky Sports HD. Curious if that was similar sort of deal to the family/friends thing. Anyway all set to watch The Masters this weekend 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair you can get boxes to do that with iptv but your point stands that iptv is in no way comparable on any level to a sky q setup. Cheap as **** though.

It's totally different, if you steal a bottle of vodka the victim no longer has a bottle of vodka. But anyway, so what, I'd steal vodka from Rupert Murdoch.

The same folk who had a go at me ‘stealing’ a tv service are systematically funding a 3rd rate league and inflating middle of the road players wages. Oh, and I bet if I search, the same folk berating me for ‘stealing’ will bemoan sky sports coverage of Scottish football. So what is it lads?
