Just challenged my bill.
Was paying £19.50 for my old subscription., Upgraded to HD and kust had £35.14 removed from my account.
Explanation is that £19.50 + £9.75 is my package cost and the rest is catch up on charges for the outstanding days.
Then came the from September your Shy bill will be going up by £1.
I wouldnt mind, but I dont get the sky magazine and I cant even access my account on the interenet. :-/

So dump sky then ;)

Just rung them and challenged them on prices, sports and movies are now 2 packages each, but they reckon that makes for better veiwing for customers, she wasnt too happy when I also said it makes more money for sky. ::)

Its well known that Sky's business plan calls for £45 per month per subscriber. So bet your backside that they will pump up prices somehow to achieve that

Well that's ok then. I pay them £46. ;D

It was because of the continual price hikes, changes of service provided, extra charges for this, that and another, plus numerous hassles in dealing with then that I gave Sky the elbow many years ago. ::) ::) Never regretted it!! :D :D ;)
-
About two years ago I took the entertainment/kids/lifestyle etc. package at £26. Free installation. Box was in within two days, took half an hour. I then added sport and movies, up to £43 (few quid more now).
I can honestly say I have never had to contact them about anything. No problems at all.

Why on gods green earth would you consider paying for any form of TV whatsoever when it's free if you know what forums to be a member of?

Because some of us earn money to get it legally :y

I used to think like that, but when I realised that all I was doing was paying to send the rich idiots on holiday...I soon found my common sense again!

I'll stick with the £142 or whatever a year I think. I get too many channels to watch as it is.
-
I have recently dumped sky, been threatening to for a long time then the box went. Manage with free-view, mostly cr*p anyway........ ::)

£142 per annum doesn't get you even close to what Sky offer if you play with a straight bat Martin.
-
i have skyHD, it was worth it for free installation & having the dish setup right. Might consider freeview after 12 months and building a media centre PC.
-
So dump sky then ;)
I agree that this is the best solution :y
-
Got to agree with Tunnie here, dump it after 12 months and add a couple of hum,ax pvt's and put a free view card in the HD box.

Introducing the Dreambox to Linux also produces favourable results ;)

This is the licence fee - all I pay

Just had a reminder pop up on screen saying my new viewing card is in the post.
Does this mean my EPG may be just about upgraded as well, plus does my box have to be plugged into the phone line for the EPG upgrade.

afaik they are upgrading the encrption, we got that message a few times, card arrived a day or 2 after, plug it in, press backup, job done.
no difference to anything that I can see as of yet.

Not at all.
My main question is regards the EPG and being plugged into the phone line. (coz mine isnt) but when it was installed all updates were done whilst phone line connected.

The new card is a separate issue from the EPG, old card out, new card in, job done.
The EPG, when you get, it will be delivered OTA generally during the night - although you will be able to do a 'forced download' to get it in the near future. The telephone line is not employed for this.
The new guide runs from the disc as it's constantly updated, so you will hear the disc chattering away quite regularly from that point onwards.
