Title: Do you currently have Sky?
Post by: tunnie on 02 June 2012, 08:58:25
Before I go on, I'm well aware some people object to the Sky Subscription fee, but this thread is intended for anyone looking to upgrade.

If you are looking to add the Movies pack, or Movies & Sports I can get you those packs for half price for 12 months. (assuming you are on entertainment or entertainment extra currently)

As always, I can get new Sky customers half price subscriptions for a year, including HD/Multiroom/Broadband & Talk options.

Again, part of my T&C's for these, I can only offer them to established members of OOF.

You already know what I think of your employers, but that's still a very generous offer  :y :y

Regarding work we discussed, that's still in pipeline, still finishing the bathroom!

No probs, should give you a nice little saving that. One point you should now have access too "Anytime+"

Basically you can get a small router, which plugs into the back of the Sky box, then connects to your internet connection. (Ethernet or WiFi versions can be had)

It then plugs into our movie data base, you have about 1,000 films on-demand  :)

You can get the router direct from Sky or fleabay, like this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sky-Anytime-wireless-connector-/200769427065?pt=UK_Sound_Vision_Satellite_TV_Receivers&hash=item2ebeca5679#ht_500wt_1116 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sky-Anytime-wireless-connector-/200769427065?pt=UK_Sound_Vision_Satellite_TV_Receivers&hash=item2ebeca5679#ht_500wt_1116)

But don't pay those silly prices! Sometimes they give them away free sometimes not  :)

Independent review here, which clearly describes it. Only point this is slightly out of date, Anytime+ is now open to all ISP providers  :)

no, we've knocked It down to minimum on sky's service, as it's hopelessly slow as all isp's are on that line... we use 02 which is usable at 4meg and provided by her work. Not sure the allowance on 02, will have to check. :)

Tiddlers! When you consider the size of a full quality BluRay film (25Gb+) ;)

Anytime+ not far either, but for download caps, 4Gb is a lot so easily eat into any limits you have

Actually, that's arse backwards. Sky(nor any other isp) could not provide the promised speed. But where still charging the promised speed, of 2.5meg at the time, so we had to insist they dropped the bill in line with the service we where getting. If they up the package, and hence speed(?) the line fails to provide any service at all, as it seizes up with errors.
We might beable to use that to keep the bill down... Maybe. :-\

The advertised package should be described as up to 8/24/40/76 ;)

Guessing this was a while ago, as O2 were one of the first to offer ADSL2 (courtesy of buying Be), which can provide better speeds on a given line than ADSL1.  I'd bet BT have upgraded your exchange to be ADSL2+, so all providers should be able to provide similar (most providers use BT lines and equipment, O2, being LLU, just use BT lines, but their own exchange equipment).

In fact, I'd bet that most providers would offer a UP TO 76Mb circuit, as BT must have fibred your area.  LLU providers are currently unable to offer this generally.

Is there any way of getting a 2nd card without paying the extra £10/month.I only need it on rare occasions when i use the van in areas where there is no digital pickup.It's very annoying when surfing channels only to have "Please insert viewing card" come up on the screen.I don't have multiroom and can't take the one from home because swmbo sets the record for while we're away

Yes Sky Go is the way to go if you want TV at your desk/at another site. SkyGo mirrors your TV package, so you get movies/sports if you have that already. SkyGo also offers 100's movies on demand, so if you have 3G at your site, should work well. Although watch out for any data limits....

Details of the movies deal please tunnie if poss :y

Sorry all out of upgrade codes now, this thread has proved quite popular.

Still got some for new customers, 50% off for a year....
