I might be being dense, but surely the TV pack plus movie pack price has to be the £26 quoted above it?

[NewsreadeR]

There's two separate packs for Movies.

Sky Movies 1

Sky Movies 2

If you have either of them, its £26 a month, or if you choose Sky Movies Pack, this would then give you both, at £34 according to Sky's website.

Maybe the wording needs more clarification?

Changed the wording. The original text was what we had received via an agency.

[Nigelh]

Thanks, that explains it. Makes the deal less attractive as well though.

[NewsreadeR]

I am trying to get definite clarification.

The banners say Sky TV and Sky Movies - £26 a month, however Sky's site, on selection in the cart says as I have quoted above.

The T and C's say:

Sky Movies M&S Voucher offer: New Sky TV subscribers only. You must take a package with Sky Movies 1 and/or 2 (from £26 a month) for 12 months. If you decide to change your package to one that doesn't include Sky Movies you may be charged £50 or alternatively you must return your vouchers. Limited to one per household. Vouchers sent within 30 days of Sky TV activation and subject to separate t&c's. Offer ends 30 November 2008.

thats a ripp-off and if you ask for sky movies 1 they will add the full pack/mix/channels
and for existing customers you can have sky+ or hd for the same price? thats not right

I can't access the cart myself, as I have an upgrade going through today.
