When I had mine installed a year ago, they used it without any asking. Saves work I guess, as they only have to use on set of clips to nail it to the wall.

Re: Sky+ HD Box is now Half Price

Found out about this offer today and am quite tempted.
Has anyone requested the option of self install ? I already have sky+ so I presume that I would be paying £30 for some guy to come round and plug in 3 cables & a power lead then pair up the card with the box.
Does anyone know if this is an option ?

Sky won't let you install it yourself

Re: Sky+ HD Box is now Half Price

31st October, but there is an unsubstantiated rumour that Sky are going to reduce them again to £49

This is totally unconfirmed.
